Applications W are planning to publish a collection of papers in autumn 2018 as a special issue in Langmuir, titled “Zwitterionic Interfaces: Concepts and Emerging Applications”. Langmuir authors have made important and timely contributions to this field, and we would like to highlight that through a special issue featuring impactful new articles. Generally, articles published in special issues of Langmuir are highly cited, and placing your work in a collection among experts in the field is excellent visibility for your article. Engineering materials with zwitterionic interfaces has emerged as a highly effective and increasingly adopted strategy, particularly in the production of environmentally benign and biocompatible materials with antifouling properties at the interface of biological environments. This approach is motivated by biology, in particular, by the presence of zwitterionic or alternating-charged groups on cell membranes and protein surfaces. We took inspiration for this issue, in part, from the third International Conference on Bioinspired and Zwitterionic Materials (ICBZM 2017) held in Tokyo, Japan, October 18− 20, 2017. This conference highlighted some of the most important advances in the field of zwitterionic materials and interfaces, from fundamental research to practical applications. These advances have significant implications in fields including biomaterials, biosensors, medical devices, tissue scaffolds, drug carriers, membranes, and marine coatings. As such, we want to bring this concept to Langmuir and to extend the invitation as an open call for papers. If you are interested in submitting a research article, please send an email stating your intent to special-issue@langmuir.acs. org. In response, you will receive a unique submission link with which to submit your manuscript. We request that you submit your manuscript by May 15, 2018 for it to be considered for inclusion in this issue. Once accepted, your article will be available online immediately. We are very excited about this issue and welcome the opportunity to work with previous Langmuir authors as well as newcomers to our journal. We hope that you will take part in this event and look forward to receiving your contribution.
