Rideal Lecture 2019 - Perspectives on Polymer Colloids Research

Organised by:

SCI’s Colloid and Surface Chemistry Group

Registration opens 1/31/2019

Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis
The Sir Eric Rideal Lecture honours an individual who has made a sustained and distinguished contribution to colloid and interface science in the UK and a one-day scientific meeting is organised around the winner. This year’s awardee is Professor Peter Lovell from the University of Manchester. This year’s one-day symposium will feature six invited lectures by his colleagues and collaborators to talk on both their more recent research related to polymer colloids and the newest challenges in the field. The meeting will conclude with Professor Lovell’s Rideal award lecture.
Attendees

This meeting should bring together chemists, chemical engineers and physicists interested in the fundamentals of polymer colloids research, as well those interested in the preparation, analysis and application of these materials.

One of the aims of the meeting is to allow young researchers and students a unique platform to get first-hand information from world-renowned scientists on topics of prime importance in colloid science. Attendees can have their work featured in the poster session.
