13th
Workshop
Colloids,
Interfaces and Liquid Crystals
Directors:
I. Musevic, P. Pasini, C. Zannoni, S. Zumer
The Objective of
the Workshop is to provide a state of the art account of the rapidly evolving
field of Colloids, Interfaces and Liquid Crystals, paying particular attention
to the aspects bridging the gap between these topics normally considered independently.
For instance, liquid crystal colloidal suspensions of micro and nanoparticles,
forces between particles and interfaces in liquid crystals, particle manipulation
in liquid crystals, nanopatterning of surfaces, surface and external field
effects, phase behaviour, molecular and mesoscale simulations will be discussed.
The Workshop will bring together specialists in the physics of colloids and
liquid crystals, both theorists and experimentalists, welcoming contributions
from other disciplines.
