The
Surfactant & Colloid Group of the
Department of Physical Sciences
(Chemistry) at the University of Hull is
organising the 14th Annual Meeting of the UK Polymer Colloids
Forum for 2009.
This meeting will be held at The Lawns Centre
building (halls of residence) which is located in the beautiful village of
Cottingham, about 3 miles from the main campus of the University of Hull. The meeting will have 4
sessions, starting at 2.00 pm on Monday, 14 September 2009 and finishing at
1.30 pm on Wednesday, 16 September 2009. The general
topics (not exclusive) for this meeting will be: 1. Stabilisation of foams and emulsions
with colloid particles. 2. Fabrication and applications of
multifunctional colloids. 3. Novel techniques and materials for
microencapsulation. 4. Self-assembly of novel functional
materials and smart surfaces. 5. Nanosensors and detection based on
colloids and polymers. The purpose of the annual meeting of the UKPCF is to bring the leading academic and
industrial scientists in Colloids and Polymer sciences and Nanotechnology to
present new topics of their research and to stimulate intensive discussion,
initiate cooperation and networking, and improve the personal links in this
field. Participation of young scientists (PhD students and post-docs) is
particularly encouraged. Confirmed keynote and invited speakers are listed
below. In addition to these presentations, we have 28 slots available for
oral presentations (15+5 min) and 2 posters sessions for 30 poster
presentations each. Important
dates (UPDATE from 5 September 2009) The deadline for submitting abstracts for both ORAL and POSTER
presentations has passed and all presentation slots have been completed. Deadline for registration at early bird rates: 1 August 2009 Payment and cancellation deadline: 1 September 2009 Meeting starts on 14 September 2009 Meeting closes on 16 September 2009
