This volume contains the proceedings of the VIIIth annual meeting of the European Colloid and
Interface Society (ECIS) which took place in Montpellier France in September 1994. The
contributions cover a broad range of fields in modern colloid science as well as their
technical experimental and theoretical aspects. Specific emphasis is given to: - Mixed
systems: amphiphilic phases incorporating foreign particles - Concentrated suspensions and
emulsions: structure and mechanical properties - Interactions and long-range order -
Supramolecular structures under flow - Bio-colloids
