The Institute for Particle Technology in Braunschweig
The Institute for Particle Technology in Braunschweig is aleader in research and teaching in selected fi elds of mechanicalprocess engineering and particle technology inparticular, whereby the particle-particle interactions andthe control of interfaces play a key role. Research activitiesare focused on the fi ve work groups under the directionof Prof. A. Kwade and the Nanomaterials workgroup under the direction of Prof. G. Garnweitner.
The European Center for Dispersion Technologies (EZD)
The European Center for Dispersion Technologies (EZD) in Selb is an interdisciplinary research and technology transfer center primarily focused on the production and characterization of dispersions. The EZD was established by local industry under the leadership of SKZ (the GermanPlastics Center) and opened in Selb in 2014. The EZD offers industry all key development work and services related to the topic of „dispersions.“
Malvern Panalytical
Malvern Panalytical measuring technologies along with extensive application and industry expertise help scientists and technicians better understand a wide variety of materials, ranging from particle and nanoparticle suspensions and emulsions, via proteins and polymers, through to sprays and aerosols, industrial bulk powders, slurries and solids, such as metals, plastics or building materials. The technologies enable the measurement of parameters such as particle size, shape and zeta potential, biomolecular interactions and stability, rheological properties, elemental concentrations and crystallographic structure. Highly reliable and robust characterization of these properties is fundamental to predicting how a product will behave during use, to optimizing its performance and achieving manufacturing excellence.
