The overall positioning

        Based on the basic problems of colloid and interface chemistry, aggregates of soft matter and materials science, and aiming at the international academic frontier, research works should be carried out actively at high level. Combining the demands of national economic development, basic research for application and achievement transformation should be selectively carried out. A large number of highly qualified persons of colloid and interface chemistry with international view of field at high level should be sustained delivered to the society. International cooperation and exchanges should be actively carried out. The Key Laboratory should be constructed with great efforts to become a characteristic base of colloid and interface chemistry. The research level should be at the forefront in the same field around the world, showing important international impacts. Basic, forward-looking and strategic original innovation and technology storages should be achieved.

Overall goals

        Guided by the state major strategic needs (energy and the environment), featured in the application of colloid and interface chemistry in the oil field chemicals, basic and applied researches are carried out. On that basis, research areas are moderately broadened to enhance the overall capability of innovation. The constructed Key Laboratory is to be at forefront in the same field around the world, showing important international impacts. In the Laboratory, high-level professional talents for the society are trained, and high technology achievements are transformed.
