The XIVth international Congress on
Rheology was held in Seoul, Korea
from the 22nd to 27th of August, 2004. This
conference is held every four years and gathers the most important
rheologists from all around the world. Six members from the Chemical
Engineering Department of Cambridge University attended the conference:
Prof. Malcolm Mackley, Dr. Tri Tuladhar, Bart Hallmark, Yu Wen Chen and
Gabriela Hernandez from
The Polymers Fluids Group (PFG)
and Dean Barker,
from the
Powder and Paste Processing Group
(P3G).
A total of 9
papers and 1 poster were presented by this department, including three
papers presented by former members (Dr. Rudy Valette, Dr. Jan Engmann and
Dr. Peter Martin).
Prof. Malcolm Mackley also organised and chaired one session of the “Rheometry and Experimental Methods” mini-symposium
