4. internationaler Flamac-Workshop “Speeding up the development of complex formulations”

Flamac invites you to participate in the fourth international workshop on Combinatorial Materials Research. This workshop will focus on the following topic: “Speeding up the development of complex formulations.” Modern complex formulations can easily consist of more than 10 components and several process steps. High-throughput and combinatorial methods offer an efficient tool to vary these different components in order to optimize application properties. Consequently the interest in high-throughput and combinatorial research in the development laboratories of complex formulations is increasing fast. In addition to the invited lectures, there will be a number of hot-slot lectures, poster presentations and presentations of suppliers of HTE equipment.

FLANDERS MATERIALS CENTRE
Early 2005 Flamac was founded by three leading industrial companies with important research and development activities in Flanders together with Agoria Vlaanderen. Financial support was provided by the three companies and by the Flemish government. In the meantime Flamac has become a competence centre in highthroughput methodologies. Our mission is to keep developing top competences in HTE, give technological advice and perform collective as well as contract research towards the materials and chemical industry. In this way, innovative research for new materials, their properties and applications can be accelerated and broadened for our customers.

NEW: HANDS-ON CASE STUDY. (30 September 2:30-5:30pm)
We have a maximum of 30 tickets for participating in the hands-on case study on Wednesday afternoon. We will run a complete project (selection of ingredients, design of experiment, formulation, application, screening of the properties and data handling). This is a unique opportunity to grasp the full potential of high-throughput experimentation by witnessing all
the different stages of a specific example.
