TOPIC 01

Experimental Thermodynamics

Measurement of VLE, LLE, SLE and high-pressure phase equilibria; calorimetry; thermophysical, interfacial and transport property data; apparatus development and data quality.

TOPIC 02

Fundamentals of Thermodynamics

Statistical mechanics and theory of phase equilibria, stability and critical phenomena; association and electrolyte theory; interfacial and non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

TOPIC 03

Molecular Simulations

Molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo; force-field development; free-energy and enhanced-sampling methods; coarse-graining, multiscale approaches and classical density functional theory.

TOPIC 04

Equations of State

Cubic, SAFT-type and association models; mixing rules and group-contribution methods; parameterisation, validation and use of models inside process simulators.

TOPIC 05

Machine Learning

Data-driven and hybrid physics/ML prediction of thermophysical properties; ML-augmented equations of state and force fields; thermodynamic databases, curation and uncertainty.

TOPIC 06

Advanced Solvents

Ionic liquids, deep eutectic and bio-based solvents; polymers, surfactants and colloids; solvent thermophysics for separations, materials and formulation.

TOPIC 07

Pharmaceutical Bio-thermodynamics

Drug and biomolecule solubility; crystallisation and polymorphism; aqueous two-phase systems and bioseparations; food and natural-product thermodynamics.

TOPIC 08

Process & Product Design

Computer-aided molecular and solvent design (CAMD); separation processes and supercritical technology; integration of thermodynamic models into process and product design.

TOPIC 09

Energy and Sustainability

CO₂ capture, utilisation and storage; hydrogen and new energy carriers; gas hydrates and natural gas; biofuels, biorefineries and thermodynamics for circular processes.

Call for abstracts

Contributions can be submitted for both oral presentations (15 minutes) and poster presentations. Authors are invited to submit an abstract, which will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee.

  • English will be the official language of EQUIFASE 2027. It will be used for all printed material, presentations and discussions.
  • Abstracts should be submitted using the link at the end of the Abstract Instructions section.
  • Digital Proceedings containing the accepted abstracts will be published and made available to all registered participants.
  • Authors of selected contributions will be invited to submit a full manuscript. Selection will take place during the conference, by the guest editors and the Fluid Phase Equilibria handling editors. These full papers will be published, after peer review, in a Special Issue of Fluid Phase Equilibria dedicated to EQUIFASE 2027.
