SFB 1552

We turn defects to effects in soft condensed matter.

[SFB 1552 @sfb1552]

We’re sad to lose one of our most talented junior P.I.s so quickly after just joining us — but we’re more than happy about her transition into a full P.I. today.👏

Congrats, Shikha! Looking forward to many more years of common discoveries and delight on defects in soft matter.😃

After many triumphs and challenges over the past 1.5 years, I'm thrilled to announce that I've been promoted to University Professor today!

Flugreisen gehören zu den größten Quellen von Treibhausgasemissionen in Forschungsverbünden. Gleichsam lassen sie sich genau dort auch reduzieren. Im Sonderforschungsbereich 1552 gibt es dafür ein Flugreduktionskonzept. Hierzu ein Video unseres Sprechers.

Today, our General Body officially elected our management committee. Congrats and thanks to @sci_ffert, Michael Maskos and Katrin Amann-Winkel. Moreover, we outlined our responsibility to promote sustainability in our scientific business; predominantly to minimize air travelling.

One of our projects aims at expanding Sakai's approach to form #tetraPEG gels to metallo-supramolecular transient connectivity. This may let us learn how connectivity defects steer mechanics and dynamics of such materials. Now, its fundament has been laid; excited to build on it.

Pleasure before work.
Today, we celebrated the granting of our new Collaborative Research Center on Defects in Soft Matter. It’s been a long run that finally reached its goal. This success was made possible by tailwinds of some who never stopped believing in it. Cheers to you!🙏

Defects and Defect Engineering in Soft Matter — this is the name & goal of our new CRC.
When shaping the idea, @PolBesenius & @sci_ffert from our steering team co-authored a review on rich existing work in that direction; it foreshadows great perspectives.

🎉 Our CRC 1552 'Defects and Defect Engineering in Soft Matter' will be funded by @dfg_public and kick off at @uni_mainz & @mpi_polymer soon, led by spokesperson @sci_ffert. It will make defects new function givers in superb soft materials. Thanks to all who made this possible!🍾
