About this journal

Aims and scope

Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology is an international journal with quick turnaround time, publishing high quality articles covering fundamental and applied aspects related to multiphase systems, including dispersions, emulsions and foams since its first issue in 1980. A subset of these topics includes natural–derived colloids and high surface area systems including hydrogels, aerogels and organogels, as well as the following:

  • vesicles, microemulsions, liquid crystals, particle suspensions, sol-gel processes, new surfactants, polymers and indigenous stabilizers;
  • surfactant and polymer association;
  • phase equilibria in surfactant-oil-water systems;
  • surfactant and polymer films, monolayers and interfacial phenomena;
  • adsorption and desorption;
  • stability and destabilization of dispersions and colloidal templates.

Papers on applications covering chemicals (surfactants, polymers, stabilizers, inhibitors), food, pharmaceuticals, forest products, agriculture, nanotechnology, and soft condensed matter are welcome.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. Submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts, providing an expedited but thorough review and decision process.

Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 530 Walnut Street, Suite 850, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

Open access

Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology is a hybrid open access journal that is part of our Open Select publishing program, giving you the option to publish open access. Publishing open access means that your article will be free to access online immediately on publication, increasing the visibility, readership, and impact of your research.

Why choose open access?

  1. Increase the discoverability and readership of your article
  2. Make an impact and reach new readers, not just those with easy access to a research library
  3. Freely share your work with anyone, anywhere
  4. Comply with funding mandates and meet the requirements of your institution, employer or funder
  5. Rigorous peer review for every open access article

Article Publishing Charges (APC)

If you choose to publish open access in this journal you may be asked to pay an Article Publishing Charge (APC). You may be able to publish your article at no cost to yourself or with a reduced APC if your institution or research funder has an open access agreement or membership with Taylor & Francis.
