Colloidal particles
adsorbed at liquid interfaces represent a fascinating class of soft matter. The
strong confinement of particles by the liquid interface offers a rich
playground for studying fundamental processes such as particle dynamics and
self-assembly in dimensionally confined systems. The fact that particles with
suitable wettability are strongly adsorbed by the liquid interface also provides
unique opportunities for stabilising multi-phase systems such as foams,
emulsions and bijels, as well as for creating functional nanomaterials,
reconfigurable devices and biomimetic systems.
The aim of this conference is to
bring together the diverse research communities interested in this area, from
fundamental soft matter science to applied research in areas such as novel
formulations, lab-on-a-chip reactors, nanomaterials for energy, biomaterials,
encapsulation and controlled release etc., in order to cross-pollinate ideas
and stimulate new research directions. The conference follows previous
successful meetings on the same topic in Leeds (2016), London (2017) and online
(2021).
