CESPE Academy - Material Characterization
Beschrijving
This course aims to show the wide range of relevant material characterization methods which were widely used in the development of the UGent raw material database and published articles. The trainee will receive a theoretical overview of the different characterization techniques, followed by a demonstration of the equipment at the CESPE labs.
This 1-day course contains one module with both theoretical and hands-on aspects:
- Module 1: Basic course: Introduction to raw material characterization (1- day)
