Pattern formation in dynamic self-assembly systems (B02)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics ; Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry
• Term: from 2008 to 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 49579428

The purpose of project B2 is to develop effective experimental and theoretical strategies to control the behavior and dynamics of patterns, forming in dip-coating and Langmuir-Blodgett transfer experiments, where solutions or suspensions are transferred onto a solid substrate producing patterned deposit layers. In particular, we will focus on: 1. Pattern formation in dip-coating experiments, including control strategies; 2. Effective control of self-organized Langmuir-Blodgett transfer patterns without the use of pre-structured substrates; 3. Systematic investigation of the influence of pre-structured substrates on the transfer of simple liquids.
