A glance into some of our current research projects:
- Soft matter structure and dynamic properties under nanoconfinement:
- Nanoconfinement
- Ionic liquid dynamics
- Diffuse and Stern layer of electrolytes
- Tribological interfaces
- molecular liquids, polymer brushes, surfactants, responsive charged and structured hydrogels, 2D materials, mechanochemistry/tribochemistry of minerals)
- Biological interfaces: phospholipids and hybrid bilayers, biomimetic membranes.
- Biomineralization (e.g. calcium carbonate mineralization, apatite mineralization in hydrogels, coral mineralization)
The group has expertise in Atomic Force Microscopy, Surface Forces Apparatus, rheology, QCM, x-ray scattering, and spectroscopy techniques, among others. See our most recent posters.
