A special message from our chair, Chris Williamson

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….

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.
