Active Colloidal Systems in Gas and Liquid

Dear Colleagues,

The overwhelming majority of objects in nature are open systems, which makes them more difficult to study. Therefore, the thermodynamics of systems far from equilibrium is an actively developing field of science. As a separate class of open systems, one can distinguish systems of so-called active Brownian particles, i.e., particles capable of converting the energy received from outside into their own kinetic energy of motion. Examples of natural “active Brownian particles” are motile cells. The range of artificial active particles is wide; mostly, they are colloid systems with chemically active surfaces. This Special Issue welcomes results of theoretical and experimental studies concerning the dynamics of all active systems.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Colloids and Interfaces is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
