Rideal Meeting: Controlling Structure

Organised by:

SCI's Colloid & Surface Chemistry Group and the RSC's Colloid & Interface Science Group

RSC Burlington House, London, UK

Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis

The overall theme of the meeting is controlling structure. The speakers, who are all former students, post-docs or collaborators of Prof Donald, will demonstrate the wide range of experimental techniques used to examine the arrangement of colloidal and soft material systems and the effect on macroscopic properties. This one day symposium will showcase some of the latest work and cutting edge advances in sort matter.

Rideal Lecture

The Rideal lecture is offered annually by the RSC Colloid and Interface Science Group and the SCI Colloid and Surface Chemistry Group. It is awarded to honour a significant and sustained contribution to the field. This years’ awardee, Professor Dame Athene Donald FRS, has been at the Cavendish Laboratories in Cambridge since 1983. She is a fellow of the Royal Society, a fellow of the European Academy of Science and was appointed a DBE in the 2010 Birthday Honours. Her research focuses on synthetic and biological polymeric systems and has led to numerous experimental advances in microscopy and microrheology.
