"Molecular Force Sensors: from molecular mechanisms towards applications in biology and materials science"
Abstract
Biological systems are highly sophisticated smart materials. They are stimuli-responsive and possess impressive self-reporting and self-healing properties. They are consequently an important source of inspiration for materials scientists who aim to implement these properties in synthetic and biomimetic materials. In this context, we are specifically interested in (bio)molecules that act as molecular force sensors...

"Structure-Property Relationships of Nanocomposite based on Polylactide and Layered Double Hydroxides as Nanofiller"
Abstract:
Polymer-based nanocomposites attracted recently a lot of attention from both the applicative and fundamental point of research. While the former point of view is due to the properties improvement compared to the corresponding matrix polymers the latter aspect is related to interaction of polymers with solid surfaces and confinement effects...

Polymer folding in confined and crowded environments"
Abstract:
A flexible homopolymer chain with sufficiently short-range interactions undergoes a first-order-like transition from an expanded coil to a compact crystallite. We have recently shown that this very simple model illustrates the underlying polymer physics leading to the distinct all-or-none folding thermodynamics characterizing many small proteins [1]. Here we investigate this polymer folding transition under geometric confinement and in the presence of macromolecular crowders...
