Welcome to
9th Ibero-American Workshop on Complex Fluids
and
2nd Italian-Brazilian Workshop on Liquid Crystals
14 - 18 October, 2013, Maceió

The Ibero-American Workshop on Complexs Fluids has been organized biannually since 1993 in different countries of Ibero-America, bringing together physicists, chemists and technologists from various countries, with the aim of improving the scientific research in our community. The community of Complex fluids ranges from classical synthetic chemistry to theoretical physics, from structural biology to engineering and medical applications, and is linked by the interest in various aspects of soft matter.

The second edition of the Italian-Brazilian Workshop on Liquid Crystals will be organized by the National Institute of Science and Technology on Complex Fluids (INCT-FCx) in collaboration with the Italian Liquid Crystal Society (SICL). The purpose of the Workshop is to bring together some of the most active members of the Italian and Brazilian communities working on these fascinating and important soft materials for a presentation and discussion of recent results in this research field.
