Feature articles and reviews setting out the results of studies on actual problems of chemistry, physics, and technology of solid surfaces are to be published in the journal. The subject-matter of the edition covers theoretical and experimental examinations of physical, physicochemical, and biomedical aspects of surface phenomena, adsorption and chemical processes on disperse solid surfaces, forming molecular and supramolecular structures at the interfaces as well as nanosized and nanostructured materials and coverings.
