Who Should Attend
This intensive course is designed for research workers and professionals working with pharmaceuticals, paints, agrochemicals, personal care and cosmetics, printing inks, paper coatings, ceramics and detergents. It is targeted at, but not limited, to
• Formulation chemists
• Chemical Engineers
Research workers engaged in rheology of dispersions in both industrial and academic laboratories. Description
This course on rheology of dispersions, principles and applications, deals with the rheology of the solid/liquid (suspensions) and liquid/liquid (emulsion) types, rheology of thickeners and gels. The course will start with an introduction on the basic principles of rheology both steady state and oscillatory techniques. The various rhological parameters are clearly defined. Particular attention will be given to viscoelasticity and the models that can be used to describe it. The experimental techniques that can be applied for measurement of the various rheological parameters will be described. The course deals with concentrated systems and formation of three dimensional structural units. The rheology of concentrated suspensions, both stable and unstable systems is described. The rheology of emulsions will also be described with particular reference to interfacial rheology. Rheology modifiers of polymers, gels and particulate solids are described and their rhological behaviour is discussed.

Dr. Tharwat F. Tadros; Independent Consultant
Dr. Tharwat Tadros was a senior research associate at ZENECA, formerly division of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). He was the leader of fundamental and applied research in the field of colloid and interface science. In the mean time he held positions as visiting Professor at Imperial College (London), Bristol and Reading Universities. This allowed him to supervise many Ph.D. students and post doctoral fellows. Presently, he works as a consultant in various applied fields of Colloid and Interface Science. He is actively engaged in research work in various disperse systems, including surfactants, suspensions, emulsions, nano-emulsions, microemulsions, wetting spreading and adhesion and various multi-phase formulations (in the fields of surfactants and their phase behavior, personal care and cosmetics, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, disperse pigments, etc.). In particular he studies the properties of concentrated dispersions and their rhological behavior. He also performs research work in the field of adsorption with particular reference of polymeric surfactants. Application of polymeric surfactants for stabilization of emulsions, suspensions and nano-emulsions is one of his most recent research. Tadros gives training courses in various colloid and interface science fields in several institutions and industrial laboratories. He is the author of more than 250 papers and has edited several books on polymer adsorption and dispersion stability, surfactants, solid/liquid dispersions and polymers in colloid systems. He has written a book on surfactants in agroichemicals in 1994. Recently in 2005 he wrote a comprehensive text of applied surfactants. More recently he has written three books on ‘’Colloids in Agrochemicals’’, ‘’Colloids in Paints’’ and ‘’Rheology of Dispersions’’ (All published by Wiley-VCH, Germany) Dr Tadros is an Emeritus editor of Colloids and Surfaces and an Honorary editor for Advances in Colloid and Interface Science. He is now editor for two series published by Wiley-VCH : Colloid and Interface Science Series (six volume published) – Topics in Colloid and Interface Science will start in two volume published and one in preparation). Dr Tadros was elected President of the International Association of Colloid Scientist in 1992. Due to his distinguished research, he has been awarded two medals from the Royal Society of Chemistry in the UK.
