Solid-Liquid Interfaces


Description:
This session deals with interfacial phenomena at solid-liquid interfaces. The session covers both experimental and theoretical work and topics include wetting phenomena, forces between surfaces, adhesion, and the self-assembly of small molecules, macromolecules, and biomacromolecules at solid surfaces.
