The soft matter group at the UoI conducts research in the following fields:
- Soft Matter under confinment
- Liquid Crystals: self-assembly and dynamics
- Biopolymers: Polypeptide Self-assembly and dynamics
- Nanostructured polymers and Copolymers
- Ionic systems – relating conductivity to structure
- Organic Photovoltaics: relating structure to the photo-physical properties
- Polymer Blends
- Glass “transition” and heterogeneity
