Topics

The aim of the ECIS 2016 Conference is to bring chemists, physicists, biologists and engineers to a single platform to converge their expertise and ideas in the interdisciplinary field of colloidal and interface science. The topics will cover fundamental and applied advances in the fields of Interfaces, Dispersed systems, Complex fluids, Micro- and nano-engineered materials and devices formed by naturally occurring or synthesized elements: surfactants, polymers, proteins, particles.

We summarize the very many fields of colloid science in the following general topics:
