Trends In Colloid And Interface Science Xv

The 14th Conference of the European Colloid and Interface Society (ECIS 2000) was held in September 2000, in Patras, GREECE. Researchers from the academia and the industrial sector met and presented research work divided in nine thematic sections: molecular interactions in thin films, polymer-surfactant interactions, structure and dynamics at interfaces, biocolloids, colloids in pharmaceutical and biological applications, new trends in colloid and interface science techniques, rheology, self assembly of amphiphiles and measurements in concentrated suspensions. Selected contributions from these thematic areas are presented in the present volume and show the up today achievements of the Colloid and Interface Science.

This volume contains a peer reviewed selection of the papers presented at the highly successful fifteenth meeting of the European Colloid and Interface Society which was held in Coimbra, Portugal in September 2001 and highlights some of the important advances in this area. The topics covered include Self Assembly in Mixed Systems, Surface Modification, Biological and Biomimetic Systems, Theory and Modelling, New Techniques and Developments, Food and Pharmaceuticals, Dynamics at Interfaces and Mesoscopic and Mesoporous Systems. The volume is of interest to both academic and industrial scientists working with colloidal and interfacial systems in chemistry, physics and biology.

The 13th Conference of the European Colloid and Interface Society (ECIS 99) was held in September 1999 in Dublin, Ireland. It brought together scientists from academic research and industry within the field of physics and chemistry of colloids and interfaces. The Conference focused on the following topics: - Surfactant colloids; - Polymer colloids and solid particles; - Food colloids; - Soft matter interfaces; - Biosystems; - Rheology; - Experimental methods in colloid and interface science.

This volume includes a number of selected papers of the 12th Conference of the European Colloid and Interface Society, held in September 1998 in Dubrovnik and Cavtat, Croatia. The topics included are: Amphiphiles, Monolayers and Micelles, Solutions and Suspensions, Emulsions and Microemulsions, Polymers, Interfaces, and Experimental techniques.

Proceedings of the First European and Interface Society meeting held in Como, Italy, September 1987. The book is divided into three main sections: colloids, amphiphile solutions and interfaces. As is typical in this field, most of the 100 contributions (half presented as abstracts) are on the borderline between physics and chemistry (and sometimes biology). Among the topics covered: colloidal dispersions, colloidal semiconductors, fractal aggregates, micelles, microemulsions, lyotropic phases, biological amphiphiles.

This volume contains a peer reviewed selection of the papers presented at the highly successful sixteenth meeting of the European Colloid and Interface Society which was held in Paris, France in September 2002 and highlights some of the important advances in this area. The topics covered include: Molecular self assemblies; Colloids and interfaces; Long range and/or weak interactions in interfacial systems; Original ways to probe colloidal systems; Colloids in biology. The volume is of interest to both academic and industrial scientists working with colloidal and interfacial systems in chemistry, physics and biology.
