Description

The aim of this project is to prepare and understand adaptive aqueous interfaces and to transfer this adaptivity to larger length scales within the network of thin films and bubbles of aqueous foam. For that purpose, we will investigate supramolecular structures at the water-vapor interface which are not only demonstrating responsive behaviour, but show responses that depend on the sample’s history. We will combine experiments with simulations to obtain a molecular level understanding of the dynamic changes and adaptivity at interfaces and nanoscopic thin films.
