The research focus of the department Nanostructured Materials lies on polymer-chemical modification of interfaces and multi-scale structuring of materials.

Core competences:

• Responsive and functional surfaces and particles. Preparation and application of stimuli-responsive and nanostructured polymer brush layers 
• Nanostructured polymer surfaces and materials. (macromolecular design, blockcopolymerself-assembly, microporous conjugated polymers, microphaseseparation of copolymers and nanohybridsystems for new applications in catalysis and for biomedical products)
• Functional materials for application-oriented system integration in biotechnology and cell biology, for energy, microsystems and sensorics

Core methods:

• Thin film preparation and assembly (bottom-up processes, scalability)
• Additive manufacturing processes (3D printing, stereolithography)
• Microfluidics
• Spectroscopic ellipsometry
