Spray-Drying Symposium 2024

"Spray-Drying of Advanced Materials"

April 8 - 9, 2024 @Fraunhofer ISC Würzburg

The spray-drying approach is used in many fields to develop new advanced materials for different kind of applications such as energy (generation, storage, transformation), catalysis, recycling, purification and recovery, extension of materials lifetime or damage indication. Besides this, fundamental contributions to better understand the formation or the properties of complex particle systems are very welcome as well.

The goal of the Symposium is to bring together scientists and engineers from different communities and of academia as well as industry that all share the goal of creating advanced materials using spray-drying or are interested in tuning the process of spray-drying itself.
