In this interactive two-hour workshop with an academic and/or postgraduate ambassadors, students will develop their knowledge of the chemical process of dispersion and the interplay between the properties of the powder grains and the characteristics of the liquid flow used to disperse them. Students will develop their knowledge of the industrial (e.g., paint manufacture) and household (e.g., smooth hot chocolate) processes which require uniform dispersion and the avoidance of lump formation.
