Polysolvat-16 @ JCNS Workshop
Stefano Pasini
Polysolvat-16 is the latest in a series of successful international conferences held every two years, most recently in Kolkata (India, 2024), Strasbourg (France, 2022), Osaka (Japan, 2021, virtual conference), and Grenoble (France, 2018).
The conference focuses on the formation mechanisms, morphology, molecular structure, and properties of compounds formed between solvent molecules and/or small molecules with synthetic polymers and biopolymers, proteins, and supramolecular polymers (self-organized systems), taking into account both fundamental aspects and the application potential. The bulk state, solutions, and systems formed at surfaces/interfaces will be considered, with a particular emphasis on scattering characterization methods using X-rays and neutrons.
The next edition Polysolvat-16 will be organized by JCNS, Forschungszentrum Jülich. We warmly welcome contributions in the following topics:
- Structure and morphology
- Dynamics and simulations
- Gels and aerogels
- Scattering techniques and labelling
- External fields
- Applied systems
The conference will consist of invited lectures, oral presentations, and poster presentations. As the former editions, the extended conference proceedings should be published in a special issue of Macromolecular Symposia.
We look forward to welcoming you in Tutzing!
