International Heat Flow Calorimetry Symposium and International Nitrocellulose Symposium 2025 (Konferenz | Garmisch-Partenkirchen)

Call for papers: »International Heat Flow Calorimetry Symposium – Energetic Materials« and »International Nitrocellulose Symposium 2025«

The »International Heat Flow Calorimetry Symposium – Energetic Materials« and the »International Nitrocellulose Symposium 2025« will be held simultaneously from Monday, 15 September until Friday, 19 September 2025 at Edelweiß Lodge & Resort in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which is located beneath the Zugspitze in Southern Germany. 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. They are organized by Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT in Pfinztal (near Karlsruhe, Germany) and the Naval Surface Warfare Center NAVSEA in Crane (IN, USA).

The call for papers is open until 31 March. Possible topics for Nitrocellulose Symposium are:
• 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

As for the Heat Flow Calorimetry Symposium, papers on the following topics are welcome:
• Heat flow microcalorimetry (HFMC)
• Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
• Accelerated rate calorimetry (ARC)
• Reaction calorimetry (RC)
• Reaction flow calorimetry (RFC)
• Interpretation and modelling of reactions

These lists are not exhaustive. If you feel your contribution is not represented here, 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 31 March 2025 to info@nc-hfcs2025.org.

Eventdatum: 15.09.25 – 18.09.25
