The research of the Soft Matter Lab is set in the general framework of the application of optical and microfluidic techniques to the investigation of materials science and is specifically focused on the structural properties, the microscopic dynamics, and the phase behavior of complex fluids and soft matter such as colloidal dispersions and gels, polymer and bio-macromolecular solutions, spontaneous aggregates of amphiphilic molecules.
What is arguably the most distinctive aspect of our activity is a well-established competence in the design and development of novel experimental methods such as
Presently, our main research themes can be summarized as follows:
