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.

​

  • Differentiate and characterize texture.

Pedagogical approach

The training includes theoretical and experimental knowledge acquisition, group discussions and situational exercises based on real case studies.
