Lectures:

• • Selbstorganisationsprozesse
    (Vorlesung mit Übung, 2 SWS, Michael Engel et al., Tue, 08:15 - 09:45, K2-119)
  • Selbstorganisationsprozesse
    (Übung, 1 SWS, Michael Engel et al., Tue, 10:15 - 11:45, K2-119)

Inhalt:

Structure formation with elementary building blocks in molecular, particulate, soft, and biological systems. Theoretical aspects, experimental realizations, and applications are discussed.
1. Theory 1 (introduction): the idea of building blocks, thermodynamic principles
2. Theory 2 (continuum): spinodal decomposition, reaction diffusion, phase field model, feedback
3. Theory 3 (particles): entropy maximization, interface minimization
4. Molecules 1 (basics): molecular interactions, role of shape
5. Molecules 2 (liquid crystals): topological order, defects
6. Molecules 3 (interfaces): surfactants, micelles, emulsions, foams, vesicles
7. Molecules 4 (beyond): block copolymers, membranes, proteins, metal organic frameworks
8. Colloids 1 (isotropic particles): interaction forces, depletion, hydrophobic(-philic)
9. Colloids 2 (directed assembly): diffusion-limited aggregation, printing, coffee stain effect
10. Colloids 3 (anisotropic particles): nanoparticles, patchy particles, ligands, directionality
11. Colloids 4 (properties): surface functionalization, plasmonics, filtration, catalysis, mechanical
12. Bioinspired 1 (dynamic self-assembly): active matter, bacteria, swarms, robots
13. Bioinspired 2 (design): programmable assembly, DNA nanotechnology, inverse problems

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

The students
• describe complex self-organization processes with the help of simple model systems
• apply this knowledge to physical, chemical, and bioinspired systems
• develop an advanced understanding of the self-organization of (macro)molecules and colloids
• understand processes to direct and influence self-organization processes
• judge the relevance of self-organization for the processing and synthesis of materials
• gain insight into current research in the field of the lecture
