Trends in colloid and interface science XI : [Xth anniversary European Colloid and Interface Society (ECIS) conference was arranged ... in Åbo (Turku), Finland, in Sept. 1996

The Xth European Colloid and Interface Society (ECIS) Conference was conducted jointly with its Finnish counterpart (PKS-YKS) in Abo (Turku), Finland, in September 1996. The focus was placed on the following topics: - Properties of microemulsion systems; - Structure and interactions in thin films; - Biocolloids and vesicles; - Structure and interactions in dispersions; - Polymers at solid interfaces; - Polymers in solutions. This volume presents a balanced and representative selection of the papers presented at the conference.
