Langmuir focuses on the science and engineering of systems and materials in which the interface dominates structure and function. Manuscript submissions on the rational design of interfaces, including new applied and fundamental concepts in emerging areas, are welcome.
The following topics are examples within the scope of Langmuir:
- Polymer interfaces and films
- Adsorption, wetting, adhesion and dynamics
- Membranes and biofouling
- Surfactants, emulsions, microemulsions, vesicles, suspensions, foams and gels
- Fundamental theory and computations of interfacial properties
- Droplets and their dynamics
- Active and adaptive colloids and nanoparticles, self-assembly
- Drug delivery, nanomedicine, carriers, targeting, uptake and controlled release
- Advances in surface/interface characterization techniques
- MOFs, COFs, zeolites and other porous materials
- Sensors and biosensors
- Rheology, mechanics and non-equilibrium thermodynamics
- Van der Waals materials (1D, 2D, 3D and layered)
- Interfaces for sustainability and energy
- Electrochemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis
- Single molecule, single atom catalysts and particle dynamics under confinement
Reviewers of Langmuir manuscripts will be asked the following questions.
- Does the manuscript report original and significant findings in interface science and engineering?
- Are the claims adequately supported with appropriate data, control experiments, and statistics?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the work?
