Course Contents:
The aim of this lecture is to provide a basic understanding of soft matter. The lecture introduces the necessary concepts by discussing important examples of soft matter. In the accompanying tutorial we will work out problems in order to deepen the understanding of methods and concepts.
1. Elasticity, viscosity, viscoelasticity
2. Phase transitions (melting and crystallisation, demixing)
3. Experimental methods for studies of structure and dynamics
4. Polymers (structure, dynamics, biopolymers)
5. Liquid crystals (phases and phase transitions)
6. Colloids (self-assembly, viscosity)
7. Gels (sol-gel transition)
8. Self organization (block copolymers, microemulsions, membranes)
