International Heat Flow Calorimetry Symposium and International Nitrocellulose Symposium 2025

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 Fraunhofer ICT in Pfinztal-Berghausen near Karlsruhe/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. 

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
