Trends in Colloid and Interface Science XXIV [Paperback]

This volume includes 35 contributions to the 24th Conference of the European Colloid and Interface Society which took place in September 2010 in Prague. The contributions from leading scientists cover a broad spectrum of the following topics: Self-assembling, Stimuli-responsive and Hierarchically Organized Systems Colloid, Polymer and Polyelectrolyte Solutions; Concentrated Systems and Gels Thin Films, Interfaces and Surfaces; Wetting Phenomena Novel Nano-to-Mesostructured Functional Materials Biologically Important and Bioinspired Systems; Pharmaceutical and Medical ApplicationsANGELINA ANGELOVA, BORISLAV ANGELOV, RADA MUTAFCHIEVA, VASIL M.
