Poster Prizes

Poster prizes were awarded to the following recipients as voted by the conference attendees and invited speakers. 

• In pursuit of small domain bijel fibres in water via STriPS, Katherine Macmillan, Utrecht University, Netherlands
• Heteroepitaxial growth of binary colloidal crystals, Jun Nozawa, Tohoku University, Japan

Colloidal particles at liquid interfaces represents a rapidly expanding area of soft matter science. The dramatic growth in interest in these systems has until now been primarily driven by the discovery of multi-phase systems such as emulsions and foams stabilised solely by particle adsorption. However, more recently, there has been a growing realisation that the unique behaviour of colloids at interfaces also provides new exciting opportunities to design the assembly of colloids into dimensionally confined structures in order to create functional nanomaterials, reconfigurable devices and biomimetic systems. The aim of this conference is to bring together the diverse research communities interested in this area, from fundamental soft matter science to applied research in areas such as novel formulations, lab on a chip reactors, nanomaterials for energy, biomaterials, encapsulation and controlled release etc., in order to cross-pollinate ideas and stimulate new research directions in these fascinating systems.
