Objective
The mechanism of gel formation in biological macromolecules is a cross-point of interest and has been a subject of debate during the last two decades. The superstructures of gels exhibit a wide variety and are not yet understood. The present project puts the focus on gel systems based on biopolymeric polyelectrolytes and block copolymers involving hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties.
The main experimental tool is small-angle X-ray scattering (synchrotron radiation: EMBL outstation, Hamburg) and there will be strong emphasis on the numerical mathematical aspects of data handling within the framework of the development of an expert software system (Moscow, Hamburg). Advanced experimental tools and skills in light-, X-ray and neutron scattering, as applied to biopolymeric polyelectrolytes and block copolymers (Leuven, Kiev), combined with physical modelling (Kiev) will result in a strongly interdisciplinary synergy within a new European context.
