Laboratory of Physical Chemistry at Åbo Akademi University
organizes an intensive course:
Equilibrium and Dynamic Wetting of Ideal and
Heterogeneous Surfaces
Part I: Equilibrium Wetting of Ideal Surfaces (3 cr)
24.-27.2.2013; Lecture hours: 9-11; 12:30-15 @FyKe seminar room
Lecturers: Professor Emeritus Jarl B. Rosenholm
Professor Jouko Peltonen
Part II: Dynamic Wetting of Heterogeneous Surfaces (5 cr)
10.-14.3.2013; Lecture hours: 9-11; 12:30-15 @ FyKe seminar room
Lecturers: Professor Emeritus Jarl B. Rosenholm
Professor Jouko Peltonen
Visiting lecturer: Markko Myllys, University of Jyväskylä
This post gradual intensive course is intended for scientists from both academia
and industry. The course aims to give a fundamental understanding about wetting
phenomena and relevant theories. As shown in the diagram the course benefits
scientists interested in e.g. material synthesis, chemical modification and
processing. Wetting of surfaces include spreading mechanisms (printing), surface
deposition (modification, printing, fouling), wetting of porous or rough surfaces
(paper, membranes, solids) and penetration into porous matrices (paper, wood,
solids). Extensive surface characterization is a prerequisite for controlled wetting.

The course fee for industry delegates is 250 € which includes the lecture material.
The course involves daily homework and workshops. Course examination involves
writing an essay on topics related to wetting and spreading and by presenting the
results in a seminar. The credits for the course are provided after passing the
seminar work.
