Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will serve as a comprehensive overview of the latest advance and innovative research in the field of colloids and interfaces from Asia, but contributions from researchers outside Asia are also welcome.
This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, experimental and theoretical aspects of interfacial phenomena, the fabrication and characterization of colloidal systems, properties of solutions of surface-active molecules, self-assembling and aggregation in solution and at interfaces, fluid dynamics, applications of colloids and interfacial aspects in biology, medicine, cosmetics, food and material science, and new emerging directions in colloid and interface science. Through original research articles, reviews and short communications, this Special Issue will provide significant insights into the state-of-the-art methods and technologies being developed by Asia researchers.
Contributions from leading academic institutions, research centers and industry experts will enhance the diversity and universality of collected articles. This Special Issue will expand perspectives, inspire innovation, and promote cooperation for the research of colloids and interfaces.
