Annotation -
The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the chemical engineering description of phenomena, laboratory and industrial processes during which dispersions or other structured multiphase systems are formed or play a crucial role.
Last update: Šoóš Miroslav (15.02.2018)
Aim of the course -

After completing the course, the students will be able to:

  • classify dispersion systems
  • make reasoned decisions about the method of preparation of a given type of dispersion system
  • evaluate factors that influence the dispersion system stability.
