Fabricating colloidal materials with microfluidics (Microflusa)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2019,

In the field of colloidal science, much progress has been done on the synthesis of complex building blocks mimicking molecular structures with the hope of elaborating innovative materials. However, in the present state of the art, the rates at which these building blocks are obtained are exceedingly small. As a consequence, even though theoretically, revolutionary materials can be imagined, throug ...

Hybrid Colloidal Systems with Designed Response (COLLDENSE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

The etymology of the word colloid stems from the Greek word for glue. The systematic study of colloids (as we perceive them nowadays) is considered to have begun in the middle of the 19th century. However, the word colloid itself had been mentioned before in very different senses. The development of the physics and chemistry of colloids really took off in the 20th century. Colloids found different ...

Development of novel fluorinated reagents for preparation of drugs. (FLUNOVELTY)

Start date: Nov 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Around 20% of all modern drugs are fluorinated organic molecules. During the recent years, however, pharmaceutical companies struggle to deliver novel drugs to the market, because of the lack of innovative practical reagents and reactions towards “drug-like” compounds. In this project, we will address this issue by discovering novel small fluorinating reagents - fluorinated diazoalkanes, - elab ...

Multi-scale modelling of interfacial phenomena in acrylic adhesives undergoing deformation (MODIFY)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2012,

"In soft nanostructured materials containing polymers (such as acrylic adhesives), interfaces pose specific challenges since they are usually diffuse and can transfer stress through chain entanglements. The equilibrium structure of soft polymer interfaces is well-known, but their mechanical strength remains poorly understood. Yet many new nanostructured materials contain internal interfaces and im ...
