Abstract:

Joachim Loos is Chair Professor at the School of Emergent Soft Matter and founder of the advisory company “Morphys” (www.morphys.eu). He has a broad background on materials science and engineering, with focus on soft matter and polymers, and he is an expert for establishing so-called structure-property relations, i.e. fundamental understanding how to tune materials towards their desired performance. Moreover, he has ample experience on morphology characterization, especially with high-resolution microscopy techniques like Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM/TEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).

In his lecture, he will discuss the importance of controlled morphology formation for tuning and improving properties of soft matter. Main examples are from the research area of organic electronics but e.g. food applications will be discussed, too. Moreover, advanced morphology characterization methods briefly will be discussed, such as Electron Tomography (ET) or Nano-IR.
