With the coming of age of traditional colloid science, research has moved into new exciting areas. In addition to the prestigious Rideal Lecture, this symposium includes talks surveying some of the latest advances. The exciting topics range from optical response, transport and environmental issues, through to restoration of historical artefacts.

What is the Rideal Lecture?

The Rideal lecturer is selected on the basis of a distinguished and sustained contribution to colloid and interface science. Julian Eastoe's interests are in design, synthesis and characterisation of novel surfactants, for use with traditional solvents as well as ionic liquids and C[O.sub.2]. In addition to lab-based experimental techniques, such as tensiometry, small-angle neutron scattering is a key characterisation tool.

Who should attend?

The symposium will be of interest to those working in colloid and interface science, both in academia and in the wide range of industries where this science is applied, including agriculture, food, coatings, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Bursaries are available for SCI and RSC student members. VISIT TO RIVERFORD AND HILL HOUSE NURSERIES WED 23 APR 2008 10.00 SCI Horticulture Group Hill House Nursery, Landscove, Nr.
