Soft Materials

Soft materials are crucial for the development of future technologies, contributing to sustainability in areas like personalised medicine, diagnostics, and recycling.

These deformable and responsive materials, including polymers, gels, nanoparticles, droplets, and bubbles, integrate with biological systems for innovative applications.

"Soft Materials" covers a wide range of disciplines, from synthesis and characterisation to processing and real-world applications.

Core topics include polymeric materials, gels and hydrogels, liquid crystals, microfluidics, active materials, and micro/nanorobotic systems.
