New Tricks from Ticks: How pH Shapes Biomolecular Condensates
Biomolecular condensates formed by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of biopolymers are increasingly recognised as fundamental components in biological systems, not only for intracellular signaling and functions, but also for extracellular secretory fluids of... (Read more)
Tiny Defects, Big Consequences: Why Micron-thick Films Tear Before Molecular Forces Matter
Thin liquid films often rupture while they are still a few microns thick—far earlier than classical theory predicts. This matters, for example, in the development of spray systems, foams or coatings. The key... (Read more)

SoftComp Partners
All partners of SoftComp share a common goal: to obtain a detailed understanding of the physical mechanisms and properties of complex, multi-component soft matter composites in oder to to provide a fundamental basis for an intelligent engineering of materials and their processing. Currently, 36 groups from 32 institutions in 12 European countries build the consortium.
Methods & Instruments
The joint use of methods and instruments plays a major role in achieving integration between the SoftComp partners. Three research platforms assemble the different technical and scientific abilities present in the network: Synthesis, Experimental Techniques, and Theoretical and Numerical Methods.
