The portfolio of techniques that we use can be applied to a variety of soft matter systems, with the aim of rational design of new materials. Examples include packing of nano-objects, aggregation of polymers and nanoparticles with various interactions, self-assembly on elastic manifolds, and particle arrangment in thermal gradients.
