Applications include development of new catalysts. This area involves the study of the physico-chemical properties of liquids and their interfaces. Systems under investigation include solutions of charged particles and polymers, liquid crystals and colloid systems such as micels, micro-emulsions and vesicles. Applications can be found in the prevention of corrosion, high-strength fibers and food technology. Topics under investigation include amorphous and porous semiconductors, mesoscopic semiconductor structures and electroluminescence.
Applications are, for example, solar cells.
