Session: Fundamentals of Interfacial Phenomena I (2013 Annual Meeting)

243 Fundamentals of Interfacial Phenomena I

Tuesday, November 5, 2013: 8:30 AM

Union Square 13 (Hilton)

Description:

This session deals with experimental and theoretical studies of fundamental issues of interfaces in natural and engineered systems. Specific topics will include thermodynamics of interfaces; intermolecular and interparticle interactions; surface forces; electrostatic and electrokinetic phenomena at interfaces; contact angle phenomena and wetting; liquid surfaces; adsorption and desorption; surface modification; self- and directed- assembly; emulsions, micelles, and foams; thin films; and interfacial mass transfer.
