What we are doing…
- …is to make macro/micro/nanopatterned biopolymer thin films using a wide range of techniques.
- …is to exploit these structures to include additional functionality into the films.
- …is to explore the interactions of such films with biomolecules such as proteins.
- …is to investigate different processing technologies to tailor the properties of such films.
Who is doing that…
- …Gundula Teichert
- …Stefanie Müller
