Jaroslaw (Jarek) Drelich has been named the Editor-in-Chief of a new journal entitled Surface Innovations to be launched in February 2013 by ICE Publishing. Surface Innovations is an interdisciplinary and international journal that will publish articles on scientific and engineering advances made in formulation and modification of surfaces and coatings. Superhydrophobicity, superhydrophlicity, self-cleaning, self-healing, anti-fouling, anti-bacterial, etc., have become important fundamental topics of surface science research community driven by curiosity of physics, chemistry, and biology of interaction phenomenon at surfaces and their enormous potential in practical applications. Materials having controlled-functionality surfaces and coatings are important to the manufacturing of new products for environmental control, liquid manipulation, nanotechnological advances, biomedical engineering, pharmacy, biotechnology, and many others, and are part of the most promising technological innovations of the 21st century.
Drelich to Edit New Journal on Surfaces and Coatings
“Controlled-functionality surfaces and coatings may lead to some of the most promising technological innovations of the 21st century,” Drelich said. “Areas of particular interest are environmental control, liquid manipulation, nanotech devices, biomedical engineering, pharmacology and biotechnology.”
