CPP 2: Focus: Soft Matter and Nanocomposites - New opportunities with advanced neutron sources I

Monday, March 16, 2020, 09:30–13:00, ZEU 222

Neutrons are an essential tool in science and research for probing the structure and dynamics of matter from the mesoscale to the nanoscale and from seconds to nanoseconds. To characterize soft matter nanocomposites, nanoparticles and nanomaterials structure and dynamics of such materials can be studied to probe aspects of safety on health and environment of such new materials. Deuterated molecules allow to highlight polymer interactions or interaction of drugs and peptides. Time resolved measurements can follow the self-assembly of colloids to clusters and nano-sized structures or conformational changes in complex biological macromolecules. Neutron scattering methods are versatile to study such aspects in particular with the advent of the new European Spallation Source and future compact accelerator based neutron sources. The supposed focus session will review the possibilities for experiments with neutrons in soft matter and nanocomposites at current and the status of Research and Development on ESS and compact accelerator driven neutron sources. It will discuss the scientific and technical challenges by this new development in neutron access in the German and European scientific landscape. Organized by: Stephan Förster (FZ Jülich), Thomas Gutberlet (FZ Jülich), Peter Müller-Buschbaum (TU München) and Walter Richtering (RWTH Aachen).
