Colloids and Interfaces: Five New Journal Sections Established

The journal Colloids and Interfaces is a platform dedicated to all aspects of colloids and interfaces chemistry. It is my pleasure to announce the launch of new sections in this journal. The journal is now characterized by five main sections, each dedicated to a unique aspect of this multidisciplinary field. The following provides an editorial overview of these sections:

Colloidal Systems: This Section is dedicated to all manuscripts dealing with dispersions, emulsions and foams, and other structured colloidal systems. It includes, for example, particles and their modification for the design of disperse systems like Pickering foams and emulsions.

Interfacial Properties: All types of interfaces between different phases are considered in this Section. The main aim is to publish manuscripts on investigations of the modification of the properties of these interfaces by theoretical approaches or by various types of experiments.

Self-Assembling Phenomena: The Section on self-assembling phenomena seeks manuscripts describing (theoretically as well as experimentally) the processes of aggregate or structure formations at interfaces or in bulk phases.

Fluid Dynamics and Multiphase Flows: This Section is dedicated to studies of the flow behavior of single liquids or of several fluids in the absence or the presence of added surface-active or not-surface-active compounds.

Application of Colloids and Interfacial Aspects: There are various types of applications for colloidal systems such as in cosmetics, pharmacy, food technology, and many technologies in which interfaces play a pivot role. This Section of our journal is dedicated to manuscripts dealing with such practical works.

Together, these sections reflect the journal’s commitment to advancing the field of colloid and interface science through fundamental research and cutting-edge applications. By covering all these areas, Colloids and Interfaces fosters a unified and advanced approach to tackling complex material and system design challenges.
