Abstract

The principal aim of this visit is to promote a discussion on the rheologial and small angle X-ray scattering obtained in the PhD project of Kelly Roberta Francisco (CNPq: 140975/2006-3)and the post-doc project of Dr. Marcelo Alves da Silva (Fapesp número 2006/00577-2). These pojects involve the formation of giant micelles in aqueous solution and in organic phase. Professor Schurtenberger will also visit the Laboratório Nacional de Luz de sincrotron and Instituto de Química -USP, in which he will present lectures on dynamic and structures of colloidal systems. Professor Schurtenberger will also attend to the I Encontro sobre Estruturas Auto-Organizadas em soluções e interfaces, that will be held in São Pedro -SP. (AU)
