Message from the Chair

Dear Division Members,

As our thoughts are turning to the programming at the Fall ACS National Meeting in

Philadelphia, the COLL Division has been busy refining and beginning to implement the

goals and strategies that emerged from our strategic plan update retreat earlier this year.

The goals are detailed, but from my personal perspective, they fall into three major

categories: programming, value, and participation.

Programming at national, regional, and divisional meetings is undoubtedly a major

emphasis. While it is active and successful, there is still room for improvement. We plan

to enhance COLL programming with a more proactive approach for session and

symposium organization and topics. We also want to engage our youngest members more

actively, by expanding opportunities for their excellent research and presentations to be

recognized at divisional and national meetings.

It is important for members to understand the value that the division provides. One of the

most important benefits involves accurate and timely information, and we are committed

to providing this for the community. We are overhauling divisional communications, and

you will soon see the launch of a new website, which we hope you will visit often as a

valuable source of information about colloid and interface chemistry, and divisional

programs and activities. Our newsletter will be tightly coordinated with the website, and

you will see more frequent brief email announcements about meetings, conferences, and

other events of interest. We will also be testing networking activities at national meetings

in an effort to create a more cohesive COLL community.

While the domestic academic colloid and interface science community is well-

represented within COLL, participation from beyond this core constituency has declined

in recent years. So in an effort to better engage the entire community of colloid and

interface scientists, we will be announcing several initiatives aimed at increasing the

participation of other scientists and engineers in our programming and divisional

activities. For example, we will be encouraging (and incentivizing) symposium

organizers to include international and industrial speakers, co-organizers and participants.

Updating the COLL strategic plan was a significant effort, and I am incredibly grateful

to the generous and diverse group of division members who participated actively in the

process. With such a dedicated team of leaders, the division’s future is bright.

90th ACS Colloid & Surface Science Symposium

Harvard University hosted the 90th ACS Colloid & Surface Science Symposium (CSSS) on June 5-8, at the School

of Engineering and Applied Sciences facilities at Cambridge, MA. Although Harvard is the oldest institution of

higher education in the United States, established in 1636 and is an active international center for work in various

aspects of colloid and surface science, both traditional and modern, this is the first time it has hosted the colloid

and surface science symposium. Indeed, this symposium was one of the largest meetings that Harvard has ever

hosted on campus.

The 90th CSSS featured plenary lectures, Unilever and LaMer award lectures, an extensive technical program,

Langmuir graduate student oral presentation award session, exhibits from leading instrument suppliers, and a

variety of special events. The technical program included nearly 570 papers consisting of several keynote lectures,

invited papers and a number of contributed oral and poster presentations. Over 600 researchers registered for this

meeting.

The symposium was co-chaired by David Weitz from Harvard University, Joyce Wong from Boston University

and Ramanathan Nagarajan from the Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center. The

symposium website can be accessed at http://colloids2016.seas.harvard.edu/home.

Two plenary lectures were presented by internationally renowned scientists. The first, "Entangled active matter:

from ants to living cells," was presented by Professor Françoise Brochard-Wyart, from Institut Curie, Paris

France. The second, "Nanoparticle self-assembly: bridging the gap between molecules and nanoparticles," was

delivered by Professor Eugenia Kumacheva from the University of Toronto. Unilever and LaMer award lectures

were also presented in the plenary session. The Unilever Award is given in recognition of fundamental work in

colloid or surfactant science carried out in North America by researchers in the early stages of their careers. The

recipient of the 2016 Unilever Award, Professor Matthew Helgeson from the University of California, Santa

Barbara presented the award lecture titled “Complex nanoemulsions: Novel building blocks for colloidal

materials”. The LaMer Award recognizes the most outstanding doctoral dissertation in the fields of colloid and

surface chemistry during the three year period prior to the award year. The 2016 recipient of the Victor K. LaMer

Award, Professor Michelle L. Personick from Wesleyan University presented the award lecture titled

“Understanding shape control of noble metal nanoparticles through the lens of basic chemistry”.

Fourteen parallel technical sessions were held during the three days of the conference. The technical sessions

emphasize the following themes: Colloidal glasses and gels, Microfluidics, Rheology of complex fluids, Surface

science and catalysis, Emulsions, foams and dispersions, Wetting, adhesion and surface forces, Nanomaterials for

biomedicine, Self-assembly at molecular scale, Biological interfaces, Recent developments in nanomaterials,

Particle assemblies, Colloidal and interfacial phenomena in environmental systems, Advanced experimental and

simulation techniques in colloid and interface science, and General papers. Each technical symposium featured

keynote lectures in addition to invited and contributed talks.

In addition to the oral presentations of papers, a poster symposium consisting of papers relating to all symposia

themes as well as general topics in colloid and surface science was held with nearly 85 posters. An exhibition of

colloid and surface science instrumentation presented by companies serving the colloid and surface science

community accompanied the Poster session. The companies that exhibited include: Anton Paar USA

(http://www.anton-paar.com), KRUSS USA (http://www.krussusa.com), Malvern Instruments, Ltd.

(http://www.malvern.com), Micromeritics Instrument Corp (http://www.micromeritics.com/), Particle Metrix

Inc (http://www.particle-metrix.de/en/company/about-us.html), Wyatt Technology Corp.

(http://www.wyatt.com), and Mass Applied Science (http://www.massappliedscience.com).

Activities to recognize student researchers and recent doctorates were an important part of this meeting and these

activities implemented the goals set at the recent strategic planning meeting of the COLL Division. A new

initiative was awards for best graduate student oral presentations, sponsored by the ACS journal Langmuir. These

awards were given to recognize excellence in research as manifested in oral presentations. A panel of 4 judges

selected ten graduate student presenters for the special symposium “Langmuir Graduate Student Awards Session”

from a pool of 53 nominated students. These selected students competed for three prizes based on their oral

presentations at this session. All undergraduate and graduate student posters were also judged for four best poster

awards, also sponsored by the ACS journal Langmuir. Another new initiative was LaMer keynote lectures. Five

lecturers were selected from amongst recent doctoral degree recipients and they presented lectures in different

symposia.

Social events included a welcoming reception, a reception that accompanied the poster and exhibits sessions and

the symposium banquet.

Another first for this meeting was the decision to forego paper usage. As part of the ACS commitment to

sustainability, no paper copies of the technical program and abstracts were distributed at the meeting. All program

details were made available through an APP using ACS services.

The symposium received generous support from the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied

Sciences, Harvard, Harvard MRSEC, Langmuir, BASF, Cabot Corporation, Dow Chemical, Worcester

Polytechnic Institute, University of Wisconsin-Madison MRSEC, Boston University Nanotechnology Innovation

Center, University of California at Santa Barbara MRL MRSEC, Northwestern University MRSEC, Research

Triangle MRSEC, MIT MRSEC, and the University of Pennsylvania MRSEC. Derek Barton and Susarrey Jill

from Weitz laboratory at Harvard provided all of the administrative and organizational support to the success of

this conference.
