No useful activities.
A few outside links are present. The scientific
objective of the Center is to understand responses of biological systems,
development of synthetic routes for macromolecular chain responses,
development of environmental stimuli functions enabling their film formation
and analysis, development of techniques for predicting environmental
responses, and understanding formation processes in polymeric films. IRG-1
focuses on design, synthesis, and understanding of molecular processes in
biomaterials, self-assembling amphipatic protein films, response-driven
water-soluble macromolecules that mimic biosystems, and liquid crystals as
well as environmentally compliant ‘smart’ molecules. A scientific
understanding of film formation and structures that develop as a result of
it, while central to the demand for the production of films with
process-driven and response-driven performance, will be essential in
exploiting breakthroughs in emerging technologies. For that purpose films or
film substrates that possess responsive and graded molecular entities are the
research focus of IRG-2. Processes and stimuli-response entities forming
films as well as chemico-physical and environmental conditions leading to
film formation are investigated on molecular levels. Another objective of
IRG-2 is the development of new characterization techniques. |
