Team : Soft Matter

What are these strange fruits? Shells and drops of a complex fluid (Smectic A liquid crystal) obtained by microfluidics and observed under polarizing microscope.

Presentation

The research program of the Soft Matter team encompasses a broad variety of systems such as liquid crystals, surfactants, polymers, colloids and biomimetic systems. We aim at relating macroscopic properties to microscopic structure. Our research themes are:

In each area of research we design model systems from commercial or newly synthesized molecules for better understanding of the phenomena. Various experimental techniques are used in order to get informations on braod length and time scales. Light, X-rays and neutron scattering; optical microscopy, rheology, microfluidics and micromanipulations. To know more about our reserch activities, please refer to our peer-reviewed articles by clicking here. L2C Soft Matter News can also be found here.
