Combining state-of-the-art facilities and student education with
industrial collaboration in applied polymer science and engineering is
the formula used in our group for success in research topics spanning
from hierarchical structures to nanolayered materials.

In
our group we use a mean-field approach along with Monte Carlo
simulations to study a system of oligomers with donor and acceptor end
groups to understand the effects such as the energy of association,
concentration, and oligomer length on the properties of the system.
director: C. Weder
Our
research addresses the design, synthesis, processing, exploration, and
exploitation of new functional polymer systems, in particular materials
with advanced optic and electronic properties. Most of our projects
relate to one of four core areas: conjugated polymer systems,
functional polymer blends, ion-conducting polymers, and novel polymers
for structural applications. In concert with the very nature of
materials science these projects are highly interdisciplinary.
director: H. Ishida
Our
laboratory is involved in cutting edge research in the development and
understanding of polymeric materials used for modern composite
materials.

We
study the fundamentals governing processes related to mixing on lab
systems which enable precise control of key parameters. We attempt to
model these processes so as to transfer the information obtained on the
lab scale to a larger and more complex scale via simulations. In this
scenario, modeling becomes the link between lab scale and real scale
systems.
