The Soft Matter Physics Group investigates the structure, dynamics and kinetics of nanostructured polymer systems, e.g. amphiphilic and switchable block copolymers, also under high pressure, thin polymer films, as well as polymer nanoparticles and hydrogels for medical applications. We mainly use scattering methods, both at large facilities and in the lab.

Abstract: In this work, thermal transitions and dielectric behavior of mixtures of water with thermoresponsive polystyrene-block-poly(methoxydiethylene glycol acrylate) (PS-b-PMDEGA) copolymers are studied in…
Macromolecules
Abstract: Arylazopyrazoles (AAPs) are a rapidly emerging class of photoswitches, which stand out due to their distinct absorption maxima of the E- and Z-isomers, the highly Z- or E-isomer-rich photo stationary…
