In response to current global interest in nanotechnology, Dr. Thies has developed a three day hands-on lab/lecture course focused exclusively on nanocapsules. It covers nanocapsule formation, preparation, and isolation. The course format is modeled after his successful How to Make Microcapsules Short Course.
