Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences is dedicated to the latest advances in colloid research and colloidal systems. It follows the highly popular first issue, "New Perspectives of Colloids for Biological Applications," and aims to highlight new, compelling research and innovative perspectives being conducted in leading laboratories worldwide.
Our journal is an attractive, open-access publishing platform that focuses primarily on molecular-level research on systems with numerous practical applications, particularly in biology, medicine, and pharmacy. Therefore, preference will be given to articles that highlight the molecular aspects of colloid research. For example, how the production, modification, and application of colloids can be studied and understood through molecular interactions, mechanisms, and advanced molecular characterization techniques to advance science and, above all, improve health and quality of life. We hope that this special issue will make the journal even more attractive to readers.
Prof. Dr. Agnieszka Ewa Wia̧cek
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
