| This workshop delves into essential characterization techniques used in materials science like FESEM, HRTEM, UV, IR and NMR | |
Synopsis of the Event
This workshop will gain experience with particle size analysis, zeta potential measurement, BET surface area analysis, and advanced imaging techniques like FESEM and HRTEM. Additionally, the workshop covers supramolecular architecture of MOFs, UV, IR, NMR, and mass spectroscopy, providing a comprehensive understanding of material properties and their applications in research and industry.
There were almost 90 participants (faculties, Researchers and students) actively participated in the event to make it a grand success.
Vote of Thanks
On behalf of The Faculty of Engineering and Technology, SRMIST Ramapuram, Dr. S. Ranjith Associate Professor/ Physics thanked the management, Dignitaries who joined the event and also the Resource Person for the day. He also extended her thanks to all participants for being part of this program.
