Symposium

Call for Papers

for 10th International Nitrocellulose Symposium and 13th Heat Flow Calorimetry Symposium – Energetic Materials.

In 2025, both symposia will be combined in one week from September 15 to 19.

Both conferences share a long history as specialized symposia considering the topics of nitrocellulose (NC), its manufacturing, processing and characterization as well as the effects, the use, the interpretation and the modelling of heat flow of energetic materials.

Topics

Nitrocellulose Symposium

• Resources available for NC production
• Processing of cellulose for nitration
• Manufacturing of NC
• Stabilizing NC
• Formulation of propellants with NC
• Behavior of NC-based materials

Heat Flow Calorimetry Symposium

• Heat flow microcalorimetry (HFMC)
• Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
• Accelerated rate calorimetry (ARC)
• Reaction calorimetry (RC)
• Reaction flow calorimetry (RFC)
• Interpretation and modelling of reactions

The topics of the conference can be complemented.

If you would like to submit a contribution on these or other topics relevant to the conference, please submit your contribution as any application or methodical approach.

If you are interested in presenting at these symposia, please send your one page abstract until June 30^th 2025 to nc-hfc@ict.fraunhofer.de.
