The conferences aim to promote collaboration and interchange between the UK and China and to share advanced information on the frontiers of both revolutionary technologies and fundamental theories on particles and powders, to provide solutions to challenges of sustainable future manufacturing.

The conference theme is “From advanced Particles and Powder Process towards Powder Technology in Industry 4.0”. It will focus on the emerging opportunities and challenges in advanced powder characterisation and simulations, and the application of both these and established knowledge to industrial processes.

The aim will be to improve and advance the practice of powder technologies across the whole spectrum or manufacturing from pharmaceuticals to mining and minerals, including energy, food, chemicals, power generation, waste, environment, and all other sectors that process powders and bulk solids. However, we expect a particular interest in applications to advanced manufacturing including Additive Manufacturing, Food, Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare.

China has the biggest manufacturing economy in the world; by contrast the UK has world leading technologies on powders and powder process. This conference gives us excellent opportunities to promote the exchange of technical and scientific information in the academic and industrial sectors in the fields of characterising particles, powder testing, digitalisation and simulations, mechanical behaviour of bulk materials, powder multiphase flow, process of nano-micro particles, etc. This is also designed to foster business and research collaboration opportunities around the world, not just limited to China and the UK.

The conference will be held jointly with the 18th Particle Technology Early Career Forum supported by IChemE (PTSIG), UK to promote and bring together early career researchers to discuss the latest achievements and the future challenges in the area of Particle Technology.

The conference is at the University of Greenwich, adjacent to our World Heritage Site of Greenwich Maritime, near the heart of London. We expect several few hundreds of participants involved in presentations, plenary and keynote lectures, a combined space for networking, exhibition and poster display, and a busy social programme.

The conference will be open to international delegates during 20-24 August 2023.

The conference will explore three aspects of delivering sustainable future manufacturing with powder technologies:

1. The powders and powder characterisation with advanced measurements. Digitalisation with advanced simulations of powder behaviours.

2. Powder process and technologies including powder flow, particle attrition, mixing, segregation, silos and storage, pneumatic conveying, multiscale transport phenomena, multiphase flow, and fluidisation, etc.

3. Identify challenges and obstacles and subsequent solutions for integrating sustainable development principles into powder technology in Industry 4.0, especially for green energies, food, pharmaceuticals, health care and additive manufacturing

The conference will take advantage of the unique experiences from the UK and China with helps of other countries, which will offer advanced science and technologies in powder technologies. Participants will have the opportunity to work together to find solutions and strategies that can be formulated and implemented to establish future sustainable manufacturing.

An exhibition will be on display throughout the conference including a selected number of examples to demonstrate various aspects of the conference themes related to powders in future manufacturing.
