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 ...

Soft Materials Advanced Research Training Network (SMARTNET)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
"SMARTNET (“Soft materials advanced training network”) is an ITN at the interface of chemistry, physics, and biology, and deals with the science and technology of molecular soft materials. Soft matter (e.g. gels, emulsions, membranes) is of great societal and economic impact in fields such as food industry, cosmetics, oil extraction and increasingly in high value areas such as biomedicine and nano ...

Efficient, low-cost, stable tandem organic devices (X10D)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
X10D aims to enable organic photovoltaics (OPV) to enter the competitive thin-film PV market. It will achieve this by pooling the knowledge and expertise of the leading research institutes and start-up companies in Europe, and is the first project of its kind to leverage this knowledge irrespective of the processing technology. It will use the strengths available in device efficiency and architect ...

Physics of Complex Colloids: Equilibrium and Driven (COMPLOIDS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
"With progress in nanotechnology, biophysics, and polymer synthesis, colloidal science has reached a new level of importance. A large variety of complex colloids of different shapes, with binding specificity, and variable softness has been synthesized, opening quite exciting ways for engineering materials at the nanoscale. The purpose of COMPLOIDS is to obtain a fundamental understanding of the Ph ...

Nanochemistry and self-assembly routes to metamaterials for visible light (METACHEM)
Start date: Sep 15, 2009, End date: Sep 14, 2013,
The objective of the METACHEM collaborative project is to use the extreme versatility of nano-chemistry to design and manufacture bulk meta-materials exhibiting non-conventional electromagnetic properties in the range of visible light. This spectral domain requires nano-scale patterns, typically around 50 nm in size or less. Our strategy consists in designing and synthesizing ad-hoc nano particles ...
