8th International Symposium on “Surfactants in Tribology”
8th International Symposium on “Surfactants in Tribology”
Organizers: Polina Prokopovich (Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom) and Kash Mittal (Hopewell Jct., NY, USA)
Surfactants perform a wide range of functions in tribology. These include basic lubrication functions such as control of friction and wear, as well as controlling a wide range of lubricant properties. Examples of lubricant properties that can be modified with the application of surfactants include: emulsification/demulsification, bioresistance, oxidation resistance, rust/corrosion prevention, etc. Surfactants also spontaneously form a wide range of organized assemblies in polar and non-polar solvents. These include: monolayers; normal/reverse micelles; o/w and w/o microemulsions; hexagonal and lamellar lyotropic liquid crystals; and uni- and multi-lamellar vesicles. The tribological properties of these organized surfactant structures have yet to be fully investigated and understood. More recently, there has been a great deal of interest in certain surfactant organized assemblies such as self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). These structures are expected to play critical roles in the lubrication of a wide range of products, including microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS).
Whereas there is a great deal of literature on the topics of surfactants and tribology separately, there is very little information on the subject of surfactants and tribology together. This is despite the fact that surfactants play many critical roles in tribology and lubrication. This symposium is tasked with filling this gap in the literature linking surfactants and tribology. The first symposium on “Surfactants in Tribology” was held as a part of the 16th International Symposium on Surfactants in Solution (SIS) in Seoul, South Korea, June 4-9, 2006 (SIS-2006). Following the smashing success in Seoul, subsequent such symposia were successfully held at all the venues of SIS around the globe. We expect the Symposium in Lublin to be equally successful and would like to invite you to submit your abstract and participate. Oral and poster presentations are welcome. If you require special invitation or have other questions, please contact Polina Prokopovich at . Please make sure to select the “Surfactants in Tribology” track when submitting your abstract at the SIS2022 website: www.sis2022.umcs.eu.
Symposium on “Adsorption layer dynamics at liquid interfaces”
Symposium on “Adsorption layer dynamics at liquid interfaces”
Organizers: Saule Aidarova (Almaty, Kazakhstan), Libero Liggieri (Genova, Italy) and Reinhard Miller (Darmstadt, Germany)
Surfactants are omnipresent in our modern world and help to solve many problems in technological processes. In most cases, technologies work under highly dynamic conditions so that not only the thermodynamic surface activity of a surfactant is an important quantity. In various situations, the dynamic interfacial quantities, such as the adsorption kinetics, the interfacial response to external perturbations, and the interplay between interfacial quantities and any liquid flow adjacent to the interface, become of major concern. Along with classical single surfactants, we will also look into systems containing proteins, polymers, nanoparticles and their mixtures with all types of surfactants.
This symposium aims at representing a platform for contributions dedicated to the dynamics of adsorbed layers at liquid-fluid interfaces. We seek for presentations on progresses in fundamental science as well as in various types of practical applications. Fundamental questions deal, for example, with growing, oscillating and rising bubbles and drops in liquids containing surface active species, including experimental and simulation work. Foams and emulsions under dynamic conditions, in practice as well as in laboratory studies, also represent an interesting group of scientific themes.
Keynote lectures will be giving overviews on certain scientific fields, which then will be complemented by oral and poster contributions dedicated to the various aspects of interfacial dynamics mentioned above. Please, submit your contributions to the conference organizers selecting the special sessions dedicated to this symposium as part of the overall “Surfactants in Solution” conference.
For questions and comments, please, come back to Reinhard Miller ().
