Basic Research in Colloids, Surfactants, and Interfaces:

This symposium will accept papers in all areas of colloids, surfactants and interfaces. Topics include surfactant, block copolymer, lipid and other amphiphilic materials and their self-assembly, emulsions, foams, dispersions, interfacial phenomena including wetting, adhesion, colloidal glasses and gels, and colloidal and interfacial phenomena of interest to biological, environmental, material and medical technologies not covered by any of the thematic symposia. Experimental, theoretical and computational studies in all areas are encouraged for submission. Papers addressing industrial applications are also strongly encouraged.
