A glance into the future of colloid and interface science: What outstanding young researchers tell us
Résumé
Colloids and interfaces are ubiquitous in our lives and environment, from living cells to fuel cells, from food to medicine, from cosmetics to large tonnage industrial products. In the recent years, colloidal systems have played an increasing role in emerging strategies in medicine and energy by furthering innovative frontline materials (functional nanoparticles, graphene oxide, ionic liquids, etc.) and exquisitely engineered interfaces. Structural complexity, often inspired from naturally-occurring systems, allows augmented functionality. The outstanding young authors of this Special Issue have captured such advancements reached through new conceptual and experimental tools, innovative materials, deeper understanding of interfaces many of which are involved in strategic applications, and the exploration of novel purposes. Our knowledge of colloidal systems engages more and more dynamic or dissipative systems rather than thermodynamic ones in a continuously expanding scope of applications.
