Abstract
This conference is the fifth in a series of meetings on Solid/Fluid Interfaces. The last decade has witnessed rapid progress in the theory and experimental investigation of complex fluid interfaces which are omnipresent and therefore central to many key issues not only in physics, but also in chemistry, biology and nanotechnology. The focus has shifted from simple liquids to complex fluids, to liquids near man-made tailored interface structures and to liquids in spatially complex structured solids such as porous media and wet granular matter. Understanding the dynamics and flow behaviour of liquids close to solid interfaces is important for the goal of micro- and nanofluidics to realise an ensemble of man-made labs on a nanostructured chip.
The conference aims to bring together scientists with diverse backgrounds to foster cross-fertilisation between disciplines and the generation of novel fundamental ideas as well as applications.
