Driving progress, inspiring discovery, and advancing understanding in particle characterisation.
The Particle Characterisation Interest Group (PCIG) is a Royal Society of Chemistry community dedicated to advancing the science and technology of particle characterisation.
Whether you are a researcher, industry professional, or student, our group offers a dynamic platform for sharing knowledge, discovering innovative techniques, and building meaningful collaborations. Explore our resources, join our events, and connect with experts across the field to stay at the forefront of particle characterisation.
We bring the community together through events, workshops, and networking opportunities centred on particle characterisation.
Our newsletter keeps the community informed with the latest advances, expert insights, and announcements of key events in particle characterisation.
Thank you for your interest in particle characterisation, and for getting to this landing page for our PCIG website…
What we do provide is a list of properties of particles and analytical techniques which help with characterisation. Neither list is definitive and we would welcome any additions so that these lists are as comprehensive as possible….

The forum aims to promote collaboration and knowledge exchange worldwide, focusing on advanced developments in particles and powders. It covers a range of topics organised under the following main themes: Particle Preparation, Particle Characterisation, and Particle Processing.
The very pleasing setup and situations and scenarios planned for a wonderful interaction and discussion with the esteemed industrialists and researchers from all over the world
Great mix of speakers, from all career stages and job/employer types. Excellent to have technician representation.
What I enjoyed the most was interacting with the sponsors exhibitors. I had some really engaging conversations with them, learned about their latest equipment and technologies, and found it fascinating to think about how I could apply those ideas to my own research.
