The Particle Characterisation Group is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the RSC's strategy and charter.
The distribution of particle sizes and shapes, together with the characterisation of surfaces, has been shown to greatly influence the process of particulate and porous systems and therefore is of immense interest to manufacturers allied to the bulk powder industries, for example.
Aims
- Advance the Understanding and Application of Particle Characterisation Techniques – Promote the study, development, and implementation of cutting-edge methods for particle characterisation across scientific and industrial fields.
- Foster Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing – Provide a platform for scientists, researchers, and industry professionals to exchange expertise, insights, and best practices in particle characterisation.
- Support Methodological and Technological Developments – Encourage the creation, validation, and dissemination of new methodologies and technologies to enhance particle characterisation techniques.
- Promote Standards and Best Practices – Advocate for the adoption of rigorous standards and best practices to ensure accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility in particle characterisation research and applications.
Activities
We organise a variety of events, including conferences, workshops, and seminars, to provide members with opportunities to learn, network, and collaborate. Our events feature leading experts in the field who share their latest research findings and practical insights.
Community
We are always looking for new members who are keen to get involved and to help organise our activities. If you would like to find out more please contact the Secretary.
