Colloid and Interface

Dear Colleagues,

The annual ECIS Conference brings together participants from the broad, interdisciplinary field of colloid and interface science, including chemists, physicists, biologists, and engineers. ECIS 2019 (www.ecis2019.com) is the 33rd conference in a series of successful meetings where colleagues from this community can exchange knowledge, discuss the results of their recent research, and network with colleagues to form new collaborations.

Topics will cover fundamental and applied advances in the fields of dispersed systems, nanoparticles, self-assembly, and supramolecular systems, as well as wetting and liquid interfaces. In addition, advances in theory, simulation, and instrumentation, including new analytical techniques, will be discussed.

The topics include but are not limited to:

• Polymer colloids;
• Microgels and gels;
• Polymers in solutionl
• Rheology of surfactants and polymers;
• Self-assembly of polymers;
• Functionalization of surfaces with polymers;
• Polymers in medicine and controlled release.

Prof. Dr. Erin Koos
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
