Aerosol routes to produce nanophase material. Spray pyrolysis is being used to generate superconducting materials. The forces by which drug particles interact with a carrier material in dry powder inhalers are being studied. 17-20. back to top Short courses. An aerosol is a suspension of fine particles in a gas, usually air, and is generally taken to include both solid and liquid particles with dimensions ranging from a few nanometres up to around 100 micrometers in diameter.
Aerosol are part of every day experience - for example cigarette smoke, or atmospheric haze.
Courses on 'Characterisation of pharmaceutical aerosols', 'Aerosol properties and instrumentation' and 'Air pollution' are held on a regular basis. It is anticipated that similar courses will be offered in 2001. A re-run of the Pharmaceutical Aerosol course together with one on Powder Technology, by Brian Kaye , are planned. The aerosol science group offer consultancy services on a wide range of topics including aerosol sampling, air pollution measurement, atmospheric chemistry, air quality management, atmospheric dispersion modelling and environmental analysis.
