The Mission of the Thermal
Methods Group
To promote awareness of all thermo
analytical, calorimetric and related techniques by a wide range of
activities, including regular scientific meetings, training workshops and
publications.
As a regular feature, the group organizes two key
meetings per annum. These are typically held in April and
November. The April thermal analysis event (TAC)
covers a broad range of topics.
The second meeting generally revolves around
a particular theme or subject area.
TAC 2013
"Modern Thermal Methods from an
Industrial and Academic Perspective"
9thand 10th April 2013, Greenwich
University, Chatham
Once again, an excellent meeting took place
at Greenwich University,
Chatham
with over 90 attendees. The TMG
Committee were united in praise of Dr Milan Antonijevic, our local
organiser. As well as the TAC
conference, a very well attended Thermal Analysis training day was held on
the 8th of April at the same venue with more than 40 attending. The meeting was well supported by an
array of equipment manufacturers with some of the latest thermal
instrumentation on show. Without the
support of these companies, these meetings would be difficult to arrange. So many thanks to all those companies who
again attended. Please visit our Suppliers page for all your thermal
needs.
As well as the meetings above, the TMG
Committee held a regular organisational meeting and the AGM.
Outline details of the upcoming meetings below were
discussed. Additionally, we would
like to draw attention to the following:
UNDERGRAD
