STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the launch of open access journal - Colloid and Interface Science Communications (COLCOM).
Colloid and Interface Science Communications provides an innovative channel for the rapid publication of short initial reports on new fundamental concepts, research findings and topical applications at the forefront of the increasingly interdisciplinary area of colloid and interface science. Particular emphasis is given to novel experimental techniques and theoretical/computational methods for advanced studies of interfacial interactions and design of colloidal materials. Topics covered in the journal include: nanomaterials, energy production and storage, biotechnologies, nanomedicine, drug delivery, environmental sustainability, adsorption separations, catalysis, electrochemistry, food, pharmaceutical, personal care, and cosmetic products.
The journal will publish its first volume in June 2014. This first issue will be presented at the 4th International Colloids Conference in Madrid, Spain, June 15-18, 2014 (http://www.colloidsconference.com/).
