[SA_scat] Surfaces and Interfaces in Soft Matter and Biology : theimpact and future of neutron reflectivity - A Symposium inHonor of Robert K. Thomas

["King, SM (Stephen)" <S.M.King@rl.ac.uk>]

Dear All,

This is the first announcement for the meeting: "Surfaces and Interfaces
in Soft Matter and Biology : the impact and future of neutron
reflectivity - A Symposium in Honor of Robert K. Thomas" jointly
organised by ISIS (STFC, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK) and the
Institut Laue-Langevin (Grenoble, France).

The meeting will take place at the ILL on 21-23 May 2008.

The development of new instrumentation and sources at the ILL, ISIS and
elsewhere heralds exciting new opportunities to further expand the
application of the technique in the broad areas of Soft Matter and
Biology. The 3 day symposium  is aimed at exploring the new horizons
that these developments will enable. The symposium will include sessions
on surfactants, polymers, mixtures at air/liquid and solid/liquid
interfaces, biosurfaces and interfaces, liquid-liquid interface, and
polymer films, with an emphasis on future directions and developments.

It is expected that the proceedings of the meeting will be published as
a special edition of an appropriate international journal.

Further information will be found in the next few weeks at the Symposium

Best regards

The organizing committee
