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.
Science and Technology of Advanced Materials
Abstract: We present the development of amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCNs) exhibiting long-range ordering and large domain sizes both in the bulk and in an aqueous environment, with a particular sample…
Macromolecules
Abstract: Perdeuterated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM-d10) is synthesized by free radical polymerization and characterized by 2H NMR, Fourier-transform infrared, and Raman spectroscopy. A concentrated…
Macromolecules
Abstract: Thin films from copolymers of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAm) and 4-acrylamidoazobenzene (AzBnAm) are examined in situ for their photoresponsiveness. The kinetics and equilibrium states during swelling…

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: Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) is known for exhibiting lower critical solution temperature behavior in water. A structural isomer of PNIPAM, the likewise LCST-type polymer…
Advanced Science
Abstract: Understanding the salt effects on solvation behaviors of thermoresponsive polymers is crucial for designing and optimizing responsive systems suitable for diverse environments. In this work, the…
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…
Soft Matter
Abstract: Three sets of water-soluble non-ionic polymers, which are thermo- as well as photo-responsive, are synthesized by statistical copolymerization of hydrophilic substituted acrylamides with varying…
Journal of Polymer Science
Abstract: A diblock copolymer featuring a hydrophobic block with a low glass transition temperature and a pH-responsive, cationic block is synthesized and investigated with respect to its self-assembly behavior…
Macromolecules
Abstract: In the present study, the effect of the distribution of repeated units in copolymers based on oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (A), n-butyl methacrylate (B), and di(ethylene glycol)…
