Biocolloids and Biointerfaces: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Biocolloids and biointerfaces are key aspects in the multidisciplinary research field where the fundamentals of colloid and interface science meet naturally occurring or bioinspired systems. This multidisciplinary complexity demands insights and input from biology, pharmacy, and medicine, in addition to classic colloid and surface chemistry. Progress in this area will require collaboration from these different disciplines, creating scientific synergy. Such advancement of knowledge of biocolloids and biointerfaces is highly relevant and, indeed, urgent. This Special Issue, following the success of the first edition, aims to provide a forum for the dissemination of the latest information on aerosols to understand the infection route, the impact of particle-like viruses on the mucus layer in the lung, as formed and stabilized by pulmonary surfactants, the route for the treatment of lung diseases, and the design of face masks to optimize their efficacy.
