The Colloid and Interface 新月直播app下载 Group is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the RSC's strategy and charter.
In recent years, to present a more coherent front for colloid science, particularly in the UK, the committee now meets regularly with that of its sister group in the SCI, and all meetings of either group are now co-sponsored.
Scope
Colloid and Interface 新月直播app下载 is an important area of knowledge which underpins a very wide variety of both fundamental and applied science.
Colloids include a variety of complex materials, eg liquids in liquids (emulsions), solids in liquids (dispersions), liquids in gases (aerosols or foams), solid dispersions and biosystems, where the interactions between phases and at interfaces are dominant aspects of the system’s behaviour.
Colloid and formulation science is a critical capability in industrial design and manufacture of just about any chemical and many bio-industry “finished” products, eg: medicines and biocides; foods; personal care and household care products; ceramics and composites; paints and coatings.
Activities
- The Group organises three or four short conferences each year.
- The Group is keen to attract young scientists in this increasingly interdisciplinary area of science. One recent initiative is the creation of a new award, the McBain Medal, named in honour of James W McBain, the first Leverhulme Professor of Physical Chemistry.
