Final Report Summary - SOFTCOMP (Soft matter composites - an approach to nanoscale functional materials)
Since the NoE SOFTCOMP establishment the strategic integration of soft matter research was brought into a new level since there was created a joint infrastructure which further expanded the research facilities and capabilities compared with any individual partner's laboratory. Namely, this infrastructure enabled the use of advanced synthesis tools, state-of-the-art experimental techniques as well as a joint computer cluster for simulation work. The NoE aimed to establish a knowledge base for an intelligent design of functional nanoscale soft matter composites as well as to form an integrated team that would enhance the European potential in the field of soft matter composite materials.
