Bøger i Progress in Colloid and Polymer Science serien

This volume contains selected papers presented at the 42nd Biennial Meeting of the Kolloid-Gesellschaft held at the RWTH Aachen University September 26-28, 2005.

Due to the increasing significance of Colloid and Interface Science for both scientific and technical applications where scientific principles also contribute to new technologies in fast improving Nanotechnology and Medical Science, this book can be a source of information with respect to developments and results related to this field.

The contributions from leading scientists cover a broad spectrum of the following topics: * Self-assembling, Stimuli-responsive and Hierarchically Organized Systems * Colloid, Polymer and Polyelectrolyte Solutions; Wetting Phenomena * Novel Nano-to-Mesostructured Functional Materials * Biologically Important and Bioinspired Systems;

Most of the papers included in this volume are related to the central theme: the interaction of surface active agents with solid materials. It comprises an impressing overview of the actual research in colloid science and reveals expected trends of this strongly developing field at the turn of the millennium.

This volume contains selected papers presented at the 42nd Biennial Meeting of the Kolloid-Gesellschaft held at the RWTH Aachen University September 26-28, 2005.

This volume focuses on adsorption of solutions on solid surfaces using different experimental methods. This book deals with the environmental aspects of adsorption and the properties of dispersions and microemulsions, surfactants, polymers, and clay minerals.

This work looks at: 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, and rheology among other topics.

The 13th Conference of the European Colloid and Interface Society (ECIS 99) was held in September 1999 in Dublin, Ireland.

The contributions from leading scientists cover a broad spectrum of the following topics: * Self-assembling, Stimuli-responsive and Hierarchically Organized Systems * Colloid, Polymer and Polyelectrolyte Solutions; Wetting Phenomena * Novel Nano-to-Mesostructured Functional Materials * Biologically Important and Bioinspired Systems;

This volume of Progress in Colloid and Polymer Science assembles original contributions and invited reviews from the priority research program "Intelligent Hydrogels", funded by the German Science Foundation DFG since 2006, with about 25 contributing research groups.

UK Colloids 2011 - the first multi-day conference on the topic of colloid science held in the UK for many years, jointly organized by the RSC Colloid and Interface Science Group and the SCI Colloid and Surface Science Group.
