Scope

The 84^th Prague Meeting on Macromolecules – “Frontiers of Polymer Colloids: From Synthesis to Macro-Scale and Nano-Scale Applications” will focus on the latest innovative development in synthesis and characterization of polymer colloids both for life sciences and industry. The meeting will bring together multi-disciplinary experts from both academia and industry in the areas of polymer and material science, pharmaceutics, imaging, biology, and medicine.

Topics

Preparation of advanced polymer and/or inorganic colloids, living polymerization systems, kinetics and mechanism, micro- and nano-encapsulation, core-shell and hollow particles, engineered surfaces, computer simulations.
Biomedical aspects: particles for life sciences, drug and gene delivery, biomedical diagnostics, sensors. Colloids in nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine.
Stimuli-responsive colloids, self-assembled systems, interfacial phenomena, characterization and physicochemical properties.
New trends in industrial applications: coatings, adhesives, catalysis, paper, textile, optical devices, energy storage.

Style of the Conference

The program will consist of oral presentations of invited as well as contributed lectures. Two sessions are planned for poster presentations.
