IUVSTA WORKSHOP "CHARACTERIZATION OF GAS TRANSPORT THROUGH MATERIALS: APPLICATIONS TO VACUUM SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY"
18/07/2024
The IUVSTA workshop on “Characterization of gas transport through materials: applications to Vacuum Science and Technology” will be held between 21st and 24th of October 2025 in Santa Margherita Ligure - Portofino, Italy.
Scope: Stimulate discussions and collaborations between different scientific areas where gas transport through materials is the common topic and Vacuum Science and Technology make a significant contribution. The IUVSTA workshop will provide a unique opportunity to engage the community on following themes:
- Gas transport models in dense and porous materials: convective and Knudsen flow, surface diffusion, solution-diffusion and pore flow models, sorption and desorption at surfaces
- Vacuum Science and Technology: Insulations, Components characterization, Outgassing
- Membranes & Thin Films Technology: Gas barriers and gas sensors, Food packaging, Gas separation, CO2 capture and H2 storage
- Apparatus for gas transport quantities measurements: state of the art and the contributions of high vacuum technology in developing new instrumentations
The workshop will include invited lectures from the lead experts and contribution talks. It will make time for critical discussions to encourage collaboration and exchange, and it will be able to draw conclusions about open questions. The number of delegates is limited, and the venue has been selected to provide an ideal environment for discussion.
If you would like to participate, please express your interest to the Chair of the workshop Dr. Giuseppe Firpo giuseppe.firpo@unige.it
