Jülich Soft Matter Days 2014

Scope and Topics

New challenges and applications using Soft Matter Science are emerging. For example, active particle suspensions have properties unknown to complex fluids in equilibrium; nano and microfluidic devices allow the study of minute samples, sometimes on the single molecule level; soft materials provide new solutions for energy and medical applications, as well as for nanotechnology.

Therefore, in this year's meeting, which will take place in the vicinity of Jülich from 11 to 14 November 2014, we intend to focus on:

Biopolymers
Biosystems
Colloids
Functional Polymers
Polymer Nanocomposites
Microswimmers
