New frontiers in anisotropic fluid-particle composites

28 - 29 June 2012, Newport Pagnell, United Kingdom

Introduction

This conference will bring together world leaders plus young researchers in two areas: isotropic particles in anisotropic liquid crystals and colloidal liquid crystals (clay platelets or carbon nanotubes in isotropic fluids for example). These two areas of modern materials research are rich in complex science and have substantial applications potential ranging from e-inks through to biofluidics.
