Unlocking Powder Performance Through Advanced Solid Density Measurement - Baden

Basistraining

This seminar delivers a dynamic, hands-on introduction to the three essential powder density measurements that define material behavior: true (skeletal) density with the Ultrapyc gas pycnometer, tap density with the Ultratap series, and envelope density with the MCR XX3 series. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the scientific principles behind each method and discover how these complementary techniques work together to reveal a complete picture of particle structure, porosity, and packing behavior. By directly linking measurement data to real-world performance, the seminar demonstrates how density influences processing efficiency, stability, and final product quality.

Through live demonstrations and guided instrument sessions, attendees will translate theory into practice while learning best practices for sample preparation, measurement accuracy, and confident data interpretation. Interactive exercises are paired with focused small-group discussions on data analysis, troubleshooting, and real application cases, ensuring participants leave with practical, actionable insights they can immediately apply to optimize materials and processes.

Topics:

  • True (skeletal) density measurement using the Ultrapyc gas pycnometer
  • Tap density determination and packing behavior analysis with the Ultratap series
  • Envelope density evaluation and particle geometry assessment using the MCR XX3 series
  • How the three density measurements complement each other for understanding porosity and material structure
  • Best practices for sample preparation, data interpretation, and troubleshooting across all three techniques

Philippe Renaud

Philippe Renaud, born in 1969 in Fribourg, studied electronic engineering at HES-SO in Yverdon and spent 12 years as an International Service Engineer and Service Manager for XRF instruments. Since 2010, building on his strong expertise in service and complex analytical systems, he has worked as a Product Specialist across multiple product lines, including Automation, Rheology, DSC, Material Surface Characterization, and Mixer/Extrusion instruments.

Dr. David Burnand

David Burnand, born in 1985 in Lausanne, studied chemical engineering at HEIA-FR in Fribourg. After completing his Master of Science in Chemistry, he earned his PhD in colloidal chemistry from the Adolphe Merkle Institute in 2018, focusing on the design and characterization of polymer-coated nanoparticles for biomedical applications. Building on his strong expertise in nanomaterials, David has been working since 2022 as an Application Specialist for material characterization and rheology at Anton Paar Switzerland.

Dr. Marija Petrović

Marija Petrović, born in 1992, studied pharmacy and earned her PhD in Biopharmacy from the University of Geneva, specializing in nanomedicine. Her research focused on RNA and STING ligand nanocomplexes for cancer immunotherapy, with an emphasis on nanoparticle characterization and translational relevance, which later was translated to NanoSphere platform. Building on this expertise, she has been working since November 2025 as a Product Specialist at Anton Paar Switzerland.
