M.Sc. Chemistry; Group of Prof. Bartsch; division: light scattering
Research topics:
- Polymer-microgel colloids and their characterisation, hard-sphere phase behavior, size fractionation
- Viscoelastic behavior of the dispersions (rheology)
- Investigation of crystal structures via static light scattering (powder diffraction)
- Crystallization of the colloidal Laves phases MgZn2 and r-MgCu2 as a function of volume fraction, number ratio, size ratio and cross-linking density
- Long-time dynamics of concentrated binary colloidal mixtures (dynamic light scattering)
- Influence of free polystyrol chains on the crystallization and demixing of binary mixtures (entropic interactions)
- Laves phases as potential precursors of photonic crystals
