SUMMER SCHOOL

"SUMMER SCHOOL" is the seminar taking place on Sunday, September 22 from 2 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. prior to the ETCC2024.

Lectures and presentations are dedicated mainly for young scientists, PhD students and students.

Registration is compulsory (refer to "Enrol as attendee").

PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME OF SUMMER SCHOOL
Sunday 22nd of September afternoon

Dr. Christel PIERLOT, Teacher Researcher, CENTRALE LILLE INSTITUT (Unité de Catalyse et de Chimie du Solide)
Experimental design in coatings
To develop coatings formulations, it is important to analyse the effect of several factors affecting their properties. Two standard two-level Hadamard and factoriaF designs will be presented pointing out effect of factor and benefits for coatings development.

Jordan BASSETTI, 3rd year PhD Student, CENTRALE LILLE INSTITUT (Unité de Catalyse et de Chimie du Solide)
Particle wettability: Concepts, theoretical aspects, and application of the Washburn method
In a paint formulation, a pigment is a finely dispersed solid material that contributes color and opacity, with its wettability playing a crucial role in facilitating even dispersion and adhesion within the liquid medium. The Washburn method offers quantitative measurements of particle wettability, enabling the study of wetting kinetics, comparison of materials, and formulation optimization.

Dr Thierry LACOUR, R&D Director & Company Manager, BIOPRESERV France
Biocides: an essential raw material for water-based formulations
Biocides are an essential molecules family permitting long life of water-based formulations such as paint, material, surfaces, cosmetics, detergents... In Europe, biocides are regulated by the Biocide Product Regulation (BPR). An overview of biocide application, product type based on BPR and efficacy testing will be shared.

Dr Alain CARRE, Consultant, Teacher, AFPEV
Fundamentals of wetting and adhesion
Wetting and adhesion are of considerable importance to many aspects of industrial operations. We will recall the notions of surface tension for a liquid and surface energy for a solid. Knowledge of these parameters is valuable for understanding many surface/interface phenomena such as adhesive bonding. But the energy of rupture of an assembly is generally much greater than the reversible work of adhesion deduced from the surface energies. The rheological model of adhesion shows that the separation energy measured for example with a peel test depends on the reversible work of adhesion and on the energy dissipated by the adhesive. Continuing this theory, another dissipation phenomenon was then highlighted and will be explained. To finish, molecular orientation at polymer interfaces will be described. We will see how this phenomenon may contribute to the establishment of strong chemical bonds between a polymer and its substrate.

Dr. Nicolas MOUGIN, Technical Manager and co-founder of RHEONIS
Coating product physical behaviour and challenges for predictive instrumental methods
