Conference themes include: Soft materials from surfactants, polymers and dendrimers; Biomaterials, biomimetics and nanomedicines Supersolvophobic surfaces, wetting and surface functionalization Green nano and colloid chemistry Responsive colloidal materials Nanocatalysis and reaction control
For the first time, researchers have devised a process for the self-assembly of colloids in a diamond formation, which could be used for filtering light.
Researchers have discovered how colloidal liquids transform into a gel and shown that it doesn't occur via glass formation.
