The 51st Symposium on Powder Technology was held at Senri Hankyu Hotel, Osaka, Japan on Wednesday, September 13, 2017. It was organized by Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation with the sponsorship of Hosokawa Micron Corporation. Over 160 people from the industries and universities attended this symposium. The theme of the symposium this year was “Powder Technology Required for Creation of Advanced Materials”. There were six lectures with questions and answers followed by a get-acquainted party for further free discussions.
The first lecture was given by Prof. Adschiri, who was presented the KONA Award last year, on his lifework research in the field of production and applications of nanoparticles prepared by the Supercritical Hydrothermal Synthesis method. The further three lectures were carried out by the professors with the diversity of the fields including solid-liquid separation of colloids, particle packing of the particles in the coated film during drying and preparation of materials for all-solid-state batteries via a mechanochemical process.
The other two lectures were from the industries and concerned about the development of engineered smart particles for the functional pharmaceutical products by use of a granulation technology and the introduction of new machines for the wide range of powder processing including grinding mills, air classifies, driers and so on.
The contents of the symposium are shown in the followings.

Symposium on Powder Technology
Get-acquainted Party
As a part of special events to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation, the 2nd Hosokawa Powder Technology Symposium was held at Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems in Summit, New Jersey, USA on Wednesday, October 4, 2017. This symposium was the second overseas conference on powder and particle technology organized by Hosokawa Foundation and supported by Hosokawa Micron Corporation as well as Hosokawa Micron Powder Systems, which is a division of Hosokawa Micron International, Inc. The number of attendees was nearly 100 including more than 10 people from the universities. Most attendees came from various locations in USA and also included some from Mexico as well as Japan.
The main subject of this symposium was “Challenges & Opportunities in Particle Characterization & Processing” and there were four lectures by the speakers from both academic and industrial fields after the welcome address from Mr. Yoshio Hosokawa, the President of Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation and Hosokawa Micron Corporation, with the closing remarks from Mr. Rob Voorhees, President of Hosokawa Micron International, Inc.
The symposium consisted of lectures of different aspects from bio and nano particle technology, grinding processing, particle characterization and application to the dry powder inhalation as seen in the program below. Additionally the history and activities of Hosokawa Foundation were introduced using poster panels together with the KONA Powder and Particle Journal exhibited. During the lunch time, discussions were also made among the attendees in front of the actual powder processing machines and characterization devices.
