The Center for Professional Advancement, Your Computer - (AN ONLINE TRAINING FORMAT)
January 8, 2008
Who Should Attend
The course should be of value to those interested in micro- or nanoencapsulation, as well as to those in industry and research laboratories who would profit from an overview and discussion of the many encapsulation techniques and characteristics. It should be of particular interest to personnel in the following industries:- Pharmaceutical
- Food
- Cosmetic
- Consumer Products
- Chemical
- Bioengineering
- Agricultural
Description
This program will provide an overview of microencapsulation and other common encapsulation techniques. Emphasis will be placed on proven techniques, results, and applications in various industries. Discussions will focus on identifying key parameters that are required to select encapsulation techniques and formulations for a variety of applications.
