Description of the workshop
Soft matter systems are materials that consists of polymers and colloids. They are ubiquitous in applications such as personal care, food, paints, sensors & actuators, plastics and rubbers. Most biological materials also are complex mixtures of colloidal and polymeric entities. Furthermore, soft matter systems are used in drug delivery, implants and several other biomedical applications.
