A highlight of the course is the presentation of 50+ Case-Histories of $MM business impact via skilled investigation of problems; solutions backed by PATENTS, PUBLICATIONS in prestigious journals & documented COMMERCIAL VALUE. There will be a major presentation on “How to Identify Innovation Opportunities During Routine Technical Operations”. This course is ideal for professionals involved in Analytical Services and new Technology development.

  • As an Analytical professional, you will learn interpretive skills & tips to help you provide worldclass services and consultation to your internal customers.
  • If responsible for Product / Process / Technology development programs, you will realize that most often the modifications, if effective, appear in the thermal-rheology data which can then help guide the projects, more effectively. What is more interesting is that such analytical data reveal time / temperature / mechanical / production history and sometimes even, present unexpected (accidental) information, that can form the basis of new  technologies. When Marketing technology to manufacturing based customers, relatively inexpensive but fairly common thermal-rheology techniques,  are often brought in to discussions and so, can prove to be very powerful in communicating  product / process improvements.

So, join us and explore the hidden powers of thermal / mechanical / rheological & complimentary techniques!
