European Coatings Show, ECS 2019

3 young trend-setters nominated for LUM science award YSA 2019 From 22-23 May 2019 LUM GmbH hosts the 9th International Conference Dispersion Analysis & Materials Testing in Berlin, Germany. Since 2014 the Young Scientist Award (YSA) recognizes outstanding scientific work by young researchers in the areas of particle and dispersion characterization and materials testing. The nomination of the candidates for 2019 is finished. From the selected three nominees from Europe and North America the winner will be awarded during the conference after the presentation of the results. Kunal Kadiya of University of Saskatchewan, Dept. of Food and Bioproduct Sciences, Saskatoon, Canada, works on nanoemulsion based gels. In the food industry they are to be used to replace unhealthy fats in food formulations. In the pharmaceutical industry the gels have to deliver bioactives at targeted sites in the human body. The use of a Dispersion Analyser LUMiSizer for the stability characterization of the gels and for the prediction of the mechanism of

Targeted Surface Functionalization Are you looking for possibilities to produce powders that meet your specific requirements? Do you want to influence the surface structure and functionality of your particles? Using APPtec®, a unique spray calcination technology, it is possible to generate, coat and subsequently calcinate particles at temperatures from 200 °C to > 1000 °C in one single process step, thus producing so-called core shell particles. The technique enables coat thickness, porosity, and activity to be individually defined. By coating carrier materials, such as Al2O3, ZrO2, TiO2, with a catalytic ingredient, highly active powder materials for an extremely wide range of catalytic materials are obtained. Additionally, it is also possible to coat silicates, ceramic base materials and others with oxide coatings generated from metal salt solutions and slurries. Due to the extremely homogenous reaction conditions and short retention times by applying APPtec®, the coatings are extremely homogeneous
