Este volumen es una recopilación de las contribuciones científicas presentadas en la 3ª Reunión Nacional del Grupo de Coloides e Interfases y 1ª Reunión Nacional sobre Estado Líquido, celebradas en Aguadulce (Almeria), en junio de 1998 y patrocinadas por la Universidad de Almeria. Este encuentro logro aglutinar grupos de investigacion que abordan problemas en el campo de los fluidos, desde un punto de vista teorico, experimental y tecnologico, y que desarrollan su labor en las Universidades Españolas, y centros de investigacion del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas. Asi, se perpetuan los ya consolidados encuentros del Grupo Especializado de Coloides e Interfases de las Reales Sociedades Españolas de Fisica y Quimica, que ahora se extienden a un foro mas amplio en el que se incorporan problemas afines, ofreciendose una vision mas general del Estado Liquido. Creemos que este encuentro ha servido, una vez mas, para promover el intercambio de experiencias entre todos aquellos que trabajan en problemas afines, aunque lo suficientemente diferentes como para que la discusion pueda incorporar nuevas perspectivas a nuestra linea de trabajo.Nuestro objetivo es que este volumen sea representativo de la Actividad Cientifica que se desarrolla en España en el campo de los Coloides e Interfases, asi como en algunos aspectos del Estado Liquido. La reunion antes mencionada supero con creces nuestras expectativas en cuanto a participacion (120 asistentes) y aportaciones (43 comunicaciones orales y 80 posters). Asi mismo, es muy grato haber podido atraer la atencion de un numero muy considerable de estudiantes y jovenes doctores, que son el recurso humano que garantiza la evolucion de la investigacion en este campo cientifico. Esperamos que con este libro se culmine con exito el trabajo invertido por los organizadores y participantes a la reunion, que sea de utilidad y que nos haga recordar el entrañable ambiente de trabajo y ocio que pudimos disfrutar durante unos dias.
