Complex Molecular Systems Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that builds nanostructure-controlled soft matter based on polymer chemistry.
AboutAbout the lab
Investigating polymer structure to create new materials.
The Complex Molecular Systems Lab conducts research based on polymer chemistry, aiming to create high-performance, highly functional soft matter with controlled nanostructures.
The lab studies a wide variety of polymer materials, including crystalline polymers, amorphous polymers, elastomers, and composite systems with fillers.
It also studies the structure and properties of network polymers, as well as the adhesion mechanisms and failure behavior of polymer adhesives.
The lab's own website presents it under the name "Complex Molecular Systems Lab".
Key terms
- Soft matter
- A general term for soft, easily deformable materials such as rubber, plastics, and gels.
- Elastomer
- A polymer material that, like rubber, stretches when force is applied and returns to its original shape when the force is removed.
- Network polymer
- A material in which polymer chains are connected to form a network.
- Synchrotron X-ray scattering
- A method that shines intense X-rays on a material and examines its internal structure from how the X-rays scatter.
