Research Groups

Research at the IMSEAM deals with the design and synthesis of new polymer-based functional materials with applications in 3D/4D printing, responsive and 3D structured materials, as well as bioinspired systems, Soft robotics, the interaction of acoustic, optical, electric, and magnetic fields with matter at small length scales, 3-D fabrication methods exploiting self-assembly, actuation, and propulsion. Also innovative device concepts such as organic solar cells, molecular ferro- and piezoelectrics, organic thermoelectrics and ratchets including the underlying fundamental electronic processes covering experimental work to numerical simulations are part of the IMSEAM research.
