IEN Industry Seminar Series:

Introduction to Vapor Sorption
Techniques and its Applications

Vapor sorption techniques of Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS) and Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC) will be introduced in this seminar.  The presentations will focus on the physicochemical characterization capabilities offered by the DVS and IGC in polymers, films, powders, nanomaterials, and composites. Related to IGC, practical examples and case studies will cover a wide range of relevant problems including: surface energetics, wetting behavior, composite adhesion/cohesion phenomena, solubility parameters, and powder flowability/agglomeration.  Related to DVS, examples and case studies will be reviewed, such as, moisture sorption properties, drying and shelf life stability, determination of amorphous contents, vapor-induced phase changes, and vapor diffusion/permeability studies.
