Prof. Schneck Group

Our research is focused on the physics and self-assembly of biomolecular soft matter. With the help of x-ray/neutron scattering and complementary methods we investigate soft matter of biological or biotechnological relevance, such as lipid membranes, (bio)polymers, or surface-adsorbed protein layers, in order to determine their structure on molecular and supramolecular (mesoscopic) length scales.

Neutronscattering on microgel stabalized foams

June 07, 2023

PhD-Project

This project aims to investigates the stabilisation of foams using polymer-based microgels. Mainly atomic force microscopy, tensiometry in Darmstadt and neutron reflectometry as well as neutron small angle scattering are used at ILL in Grenoble.
