Aims and scope

Colloid Journal is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes the results of research on the physics and chemistry of the dispersed state of matter and interfacial phenomena. The journal covers experimental and theoretical works on a great variety of colloid and surface phenomena: the structure and properties of interfaces; adsorption phenomena and structure of adsorption layers of surfactants; capillary phenomena; wetting films; wetting and spreading; and detergency. The formation of colloid systems, their molecular-kinetic and optical properties, surface forces, the interaction of colloidal particles, stabilization, and criteria of stability of disperse systems (lyosols and aerosols, suspensions, emulsions, foams, and micellar systems) are also topics of the journal. Colloid Journal also includes the electrosurface and electrokinetic phenomena, i.e., phenomena dealing with the existence of diffusion layers of molecules and ions in the vicinity of the interface. The journal publishes critical reviews and original research articles. Colloid Journal is no longer solely a translation journal. It publishes manuscripts originally submitted in English and translated works. The sources of content are indicated at the article level. The peer review policy of the journal is independent of the manuscript source, ensuring a fair and unbiased evaluation process for all submissions. As part of its aim to become an international publication, the journal welcomes submissions in English from all countries.
