Broadband Dielectric and Impedance Spectroscopy And Its Applications
Responding to
frequent demand from scientists and engineers interested in
Broadband Dielectric and Impedance Spectroscopy, Novocontrol
Technologies announces its Training Course on Broadband
Dielectric and Impedance Spectroscopy to take
place September 26-28, 2011, at the University of
Marburg, Germany under the guidance
of Profs. F. Kremer and B. Roling.
Registration deadline: September 9, 2011
The workshop will not only give an overview on the basics of this experimental technique, but also will elaborate on the following topics:- Fundamentals of Broadband Dielectric and Impedance Spectroscopy (BDS)
- Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy on polymers and glass forming liquids
- Relaxational dynamics in confined systems, including thin films
- Characterisation of electrochemical cells
- Analysis of dielectric and impedance spectra dominated by charge transport
Broadband Dielectric and Impedance Spectroscopy (BDS) has emerged in manifold areas of modern science and technology.
Topics like molecular dynamics in nanometric confinement, scaling of relaxation processes of glass-forming liquids and polymers, charge transport in ion-conducting systems etc. require a detailed understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms which can be achieved by BDS.
The development and understanding of high-tech materials like Liquid Crystals (LC), Ionic Liquids (IL), "Organic Metals", colloids and polymers incorporated in displays, fuel cells, organic electronics, colloidal suspensions or polymer-based components requires a detailed knowledge of the complex dielectric and conductivity function response, preferentially measured over a broad spectral and temperature range by BDS.
The proposed short course provides an introduction into this exciting field of modern science. It will demonstrate both in theory and in practical exercises the extraordinary potential of BDS and its applications.
Seminar blocks will be complemented by hands-on experience - under professional guidance, participants perform and evaluate their own experiments, if possible on their own samples.
The regular participation fee will be
€ 1800 for industrial attendants
€ 850 for academic attendants
The number of participants is limited. Spaces are allocated on a first come - first serve basis.
Prospective attendants please register using the Registration Form. Please also fill our Questionnaire for Attendees and submit both forms by fax to +49 6435 962333 or scanned copies to workshop@novocontrol.de.
