Aims & Scope

Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology is an international journal covering fundamental and applied aspects of dispersions, emulsions, vesicles, microemulsions, liquid crystals, particle suspensions and sol-gel processes. Fundamental areas that are covered include new surfactants, polymers and indigenous stabilizers; surfactant and polymer association as well as phase equilibria in systems water and oil; surfactant and polymer films, monolayers and interfacial films; adsorption and desorption onto solid surfaces; stability and destabilization of dispersions, emulsions and particle suspensions; collodal templates and sol-gel processing. Industrial applications cover chemicals, crude oils, food, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, nanotechnology, and soft condensed materials.
