Functional Polymer Materials

We study polymers with self-healing properties, with ion and proton conduction, membrane translocating polymers and polymers responding to environmental triggers for applications in automotive transport, energy devices and smart materials.

a

Proteins

3D tertiary- and quaternary-structured proteins may show additional intrinsic disorder. We investigate their structure and dynamics covering disordered, partially ordered and ordered states to obtain relations between conformation and dimerization, liquid-liquid phase separation and binding to lipid membranes.

Soft Colloids

The 3D-structure, assembly and properties of soft colloids delicately depend on temperature, pressure, concentration, as well as on external forces mediated by flow, tension, electric and magnetic fields.
