The objective of the workshop will be to promote discussion and interaction between scientists with different backgrounds or different approaches, bringing together the most significant results from experiments, theory and simulation.
The focus is on electrostatic effects beyond the classical Poisson-Boltzmann description such as:
Charge inversion in electrolyte solution: different approaches from physics and chemistry, Charge inversion in real systems: colloids, surfactant systems, membranes, DNA, polyelectrolytes, microfulidic devices,…
Discrete charge effects in soft matter interactions (including biological membranes, DNA,…). Statistical mechanics of electrolytes. Ions and water near interfaces and charged surfaces. Specific ion effects.
Effect of hydration and hydrophobic forces on the stability of nanoparticles, colloids and surfactant systems (such as Newton Black Films). Fundamental questions in electrokinetic phenomena (electrophoresis, electroosmosis, …)
