Special Issues Soft Matter, Food & Function and Applied Rheology

Applied Rheology invites all participants to submit research papers focusing on food rheology for a special issue devoted to ISFRS 2012.

Food & Function and Soft Matter are offering a joint web-themed issue of research presented at ISFRS 2012. As guest editors Erich Windhab and Peter Fischer will act.

Deadline for submission for all three journals is: July 16, 2012

Please handle all Submission via the www-sites of Food & Function, Soft Matter and Applied Rheology. As for Soft Matter and Food & Function please mention that your submission is for the ISFRS web-themed issue.
