Sustainable Coatings and Encapsulation: Fundamentals of Films and Microcapsules is a continuation and expansion of the highly successful Microencapsulation short course previously delivered at the University of Leeds between 2012 and 2023.

This updated course provides a strong foundation in coating and encapsulation science and technology, with a clear emphasis on the development of more sustainable solutions. Delegates will gain both fundamental understanding and practical insight into how sustainability considerations are shaping current and future practice.

The course offers a programme of academic and industry collaboration, combining expert-led presentations with laboratory demonstrations. Delivered over 3.5 days, the course is structured into three complementary themes.

Course Aims:

• Understand scientific and engineering principles underpinning coatings and encapsulation

• Explore where sustainability gains lie in established and emerging materials

• Examine life cycle analysis and regulatory considerations

• Develop insight into formulation, manufacturing and characterisation

• Understand translation from laboratory to industrial scale
