Technical Training
"Color Matching activities and Optical properties of materials"
Technicians & Scientists
Acquire professional credential and use it in your daily work.

Audience
-
Technicians and Scientist working in the field of the visual appearance and optical properties of materials.
-
All industrial sectors: Coatings, Pigments, Cosmetics, Chemistry, Particle sizing, food, biomedical, etc.
Goal
Develop and acquire practical and theoretical knowledge.
Examples of learning objectives
-
Know the different light propagation processes in heterogeneous media, as a function of their composition (paints, papers, cosmetics, biomedical tissues, etc.).
-
Differentiate between chemical and physical colors and explain their fundamental mechanisms.
-
Understand the concept and the different origins of opacity. Predict changes in opacity as a function of the material constitution.
-
Recognize the different types of integrating spheres, and understand their usage.
-
Manage adequately color matching software from set up and parameterization to utilization.
-
Know basic color Matching theory.
-
Correlate the origin of gloss to surface light scattering phenomenon and surface topology.
-
