About

Colloid and Interface Science is a central science, spanning many disciplines. As such, Colloid and Interface Sciences are key to a wide range of new technologies and new challenges; for example, energy generation and storage, nano-medicine and drug delivery, sensing and diagnostics, advanced materials, climate change and resource efficiency.

This meeting aims to attract international researchers to communicate and share the latest developments in these fast-moving and continually expanding fields.

The conference is being held in Shanghai in recognition of the significant and impressive contributions made by China to Colloid and Interface Sciences.  This conference venue will provide Attendees with unique opportunities to meet and learn from each other, to forge new scientific relationships and international collaborations.
