Particle Technology for Health and Energy

The course starts with the basics of general particle technology / solids processing. After the introduction, we will treat special topics focusing more on health/pharma and energy applications of particle technology. The exact course structure may vary depending on the number of students.

Typical topics:

• Basic properties and characterization of particles

• Particles in a fluid, particle-particle interaction

• Motivation of applying (nano)particles; difference in behavior between small particles and large particles

• Particle production and functionalization

• Pharmaceutical processing

• Nanoparticle formulation and controlled release

• Safety, Health and Environment aspects of particles

• Battery applications of particles

• Catalysis, critical materials and circularity

• Large-scale energy processes involving particles
