Welcome to the webpages of the Soft Materials Group at the ETH Zürich. We are part of the department of Materials (D-MATL). Our research interests relate to soft matter and polymers, with an emphasis on structural and rheological properties. Materials classes belonging to soft matter range from polymers, colloids over surfactive or active components and mixtures thereof. Recently there has been a strong focus on interface dominated materials in our research.
Our work has a strong fundamental focus, but applications domains are broad. We strive to find high end applications of our work which hopefuly impact society in a longer run, with human health and materials or processes which improve sustainability being most of the time at the core of our work.
On behalf of the Soft Materials group, I wish you enjoyable reading.
Jan Vermant.
