| Summary |
Of central importance in personal care, food, pharmaceutics, and biotechnology, biomaterials and biosubstrates formed the subject of the fifth meeting of the Royal Society-Unilever Indo-UK Forum in Materials Science and Engineering. The programme for this meeting dwelt on two principal foci: (i) new advances in the measurement of the supramolecular and colloidal structures, and (ii) the relationship of these structures to the functional properties of the materials. This volume is a compilation of selected papers presented at the meeting by world-renowned scientists who included, among others, Prof. E.D.T. Atkins (Bristol, UK), Prof. N. Chandrakumar (Chennai, India), Dr. A.M. Hermansson (Goteborg, Sweden), Dr. V.J. Morris (Norwich, UK), Prof. P. Walstra (Wageningen, The Netherlands), Dr. V. Prakash (Mysore, India), Prof. S.B. Ross-Murphy (King's College, London, UK), Prof. G.E. Rogers (Adelaide, Australia), Dr. T. Kealey (Cambridge, UK) and Prof. N. Appaji Rao (Bangalore, India) |
