A Training Day was integrated within the NanoFormulation2011 programme was focussed on nanomaterial characterisation. The day was held at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) on Friday 1 July 2011. IMRE is a research institute of the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR).

Electron microscopy laboratories: Demo on measurement of nanoparticles to show the application of TEM in various modes: TEM, STEM, EELS, EDS ii. XPS and ToFSIMS laboratories: Demo on characterization of nanoparticles and highlight the relative advantages of the two techniques iii. NMR (solid/liquid): Explanation on the use of NMR on nanoparticle and formation characterization iv. AFM/SPM: Demo on morphological characterization of polymer coating. 16:40 Depart IMRE * Consists of tours to 4 laboratories with various characterization tools. Split into 4 groups of people with 10 – 12 pax each. Duration spent at each laboratory is less than 30 minutes, so all the tours can complete in 2 hours.
