The study of soft matter and soft materials requires a comprehensive understanding of physics and chemistry in this field. The goal of the Master's program Soft Matter and Materials is to provide technical knowledge and conceptual competence related to the production of building blocks (e.g. polymers, supramolecular tectons, colloids) and the structure-dynamics-property relationships of soft matter and materials. Functional concepts will be learned based on general synthetic components, in addition to biologically-relevant components.

Knowledge of the technical processing and industrial utilization of soft materials will round off the training. All teaching and learning content is in English.

Further information on the programme can be found in a Presentation by the programme coordinator Prof. Dr. Sebastian Seiffert (JGU Mainz)
