Soft Matter Science and Engineering

Master's

Soft Matter Science is a highly interdisciplinary field comprising fundamental Physics, challenging Chemistry and a wide range of applications related with Materials and Chemical Engineering as well as Biology and Bioengineering. The aim of the Soft Matter Science & Engineering Postgraduate Program is to provide students with the needed skills to pursue successful careers or further advanced studies in the highly interdisciplinary field of soft materials. The educational and research activities of the program provide an integrated approach and in-depth training, with emphasis on conducting innovative research in a variety of soft matter fields, including (but not limited to) synthesis and characterization, polymers, colloids, composites, interfacial properties, materials for energy, biomimetic materials, responsive networks, materials for biological or biomedical applications, eco-friendly and sustainable materials, recycling, rheology and processing.
