Developing products that can properly wet surfaces, disperse pigments, emulsify key components, or generate or destabilize foam is challenging due to the high surface tension of water. Understanding how materials are affected by applied stress forces and their flow behavior is crucial for formulators to develop products with optimal outcomes in terms of production, storage, packaging, and application.
To address these challenges, we offer a six-hour accredited course on Rheology and Surfactants (Chemistry, Theory, and Application). The course covers the fundamental principles of viscosity and surface tension, providing an in-depth understanding of the chemistry and mechanism of rheological additives and surface-active agents. Additionally, the course covers product types, deformation forces, flow behavior profiles, surface activity, measuring methods, and a review of interatomic bonding and intermolecular attraction, which will help explain how these important specialty additives and agents perform in real-world applications.
By taking this course, participants will gain essential insights into the relationship between rheology and surfactants and their effects on product development. They will also identify how to select and apply the appropriate additives and agents for optimal performance in their products. This knowledge will enable formulators to create high-quality products that meet customer needs and outperform competitors in the marketplace.
