We are searching for highly motivated students to work on stereolithography-based 3D printing of mesoporous silica structures. If interested please contact Prof. Andrieu-Brunsen.

Our article on surface plasmons and visible light iniferter initiated polymerization has been published.

Check out our new publication on influence of wettability on the impedance of ion transport through mesoporous silica films.

A reunion of all Smarties group members of 2012-2020 during our Christmas seminar.

Check out our new publication on water imbibition into mesoporous silica thin films with different wettig properties .

Congratulations Dr. Nicole Rath, who successfully defended her PhD thesis on methods towards asymmetric functionalization in porous systems.

Our article on the interplay of nanoconfinement and pH has been published. Thanks to the collaboration with the group of Prof. G. Buntkowsky and the group of Prof. J. Wachtveitl .

Congratulations Dr. Robert Brilmayer, who successfully defended his PhD thesis on pH-sensing in mesopores.

We are very happy to announce that the DFG has approved four more years of funding for the Collaborative Research Centre 1194 . It focuses on wetting and transport phenomena.
