Research Interests

The scientific program is managed by a team of scientists working in the generic area of Soft Matter. We host world class researchers with expertise in polymers, colloids and surface chemistry. The research and training in the Centre is based on the following main themes:

1. •Organic synthesis
   

2. •Polymer synthesis
   

3. •Polymer self-assembly
   

4. •Hybrid natural/synthetic materials
   

5. •Formation and characterisation of polymer colloids
   

6. •Hydrocolloids
   

7. •Surfactants
   

8. •Surface Chemistry
   

The Key Centre has world-class equipment facilities to study Soft Matter.

We have a program for short- and long-term research visits by senior undergraduate and graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows.
