On October 12, 2006, three distinguished scientists on Colloids and Surfaces were invited to visit Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academic of Sciences. They are:
 
Prof. John Ralston, Director of Ian Wark Research Institute and Laureate Professor of Physical Chemistry and Minerals Processing, University of South Australia, Prof. John Ralston was elected as a Fellow of the Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering in 1993 and of the Australian Academy of Science in 2005. He is the author of over 250 refereed journal articles and textbook chapters, plus numerous refereed conference papers and industry reports, acts as referee for numerous major international journals and was President of the Physical and Biophysical Chemistry Division of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), from 2002 to 2004.  He is presently a Council member of IACIS.
Professor Brian Vincent, Director of  the Bristol Colloid Centre, School of Chemistry, University of Bristol. He is the President of International Association of Colloid and Interface Scientists [IACIS] during 2003 – 2006, the Chairman of Colloid and Surface Chemistry Group Committee of Society of Chemical Industry [SCI] , the chairman of Colloid & Interface Sceinces Group of Royal Society of Chemistry during 2000-2005. He studies novel nanoparicle systems, interparticle forces, particle aggregation and deposition on surfaces. He has published230 research / review papers in primary journal and co-authored or edited 4 books in the areas of polymer and colloid science.
Prof.Dr. G.J. Fleer, Wageningen Agricultural University, Laboratory of Physical and Colloid Chemistry, He has more than 150 publications, about 200 lectures on various international conferences, of which about a third invited. He is the first author of the advanced textbook "Polymers at Interfaces". His special research interest: polymer adsorption theory, polydispersity effects, reversibility, polyelectrolytes, depletion of polymers, displacement of polymers by displacers, determination of adsorption energy, end effects (tails), density profiles, copolymers, interaction between adsorbed polymer layers, phase behaviour of colloids in the presence of nonadsorbing polymer.
 
The titles of their excellent lectures in LICP were “Structured Titania And Silica Surfaces, "Microgels - Fundamentals and Applications" and “When Does (Colloidal) Liquid Exist?”, They introduced the new developments on the area of the colloids and surface sciences. Prof. John Ralton also introduced the IWRI Institute. This is a wonderful exchange experience for both of the scientists and the students.
