NYSCC Rheology Symposium — Practical Considerations and Demonstrations
I
November 15th • Cook Campus Student Center • Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ
n continuing with tradition, the NYSCC will be hosting its biannual Rheology Symposium this year. This is a great event that promises to provide a cornucopia of educational information bringing rheology and cosmetic science together. At this year’s symposium we plan to give attendees the opportunity to see “rheology in action.” Several instrument suppliers will demonstrate case studies to highlight test methods and data analysis relevant to cosmetic product development. This format is designed to encourage attendees to learn from the demonstrators and from each other. In addition to the practical demonstrations, invited speakers include Dennis Laba (review of rheological terms), Rhyta Rounds (product packaging), and Professor Christopher Macosko of the University of Minnesota (sensorial properties).
