Conference Functional supramolecular architectures: from molecules to materials

Salle de Conférence, ISIS, Strasbourg

The use of self-assembling molecules to build functional materials through labile and non-covalent interactions allows complex structures to be simply generated. Such highly organized functional architectures can span from discrete molecules, which can be luminescent or electro-active as dyes and charge transporting materials to polymers and finally to hybrid structures with great potential applications in various fields such as imaging, drug delivery, optics, electronics or solar energy conversion. Moreover, these materials may contain dynamic attributes that could correct errors (self-healing), and potentially make them responsive to external stimuli. This one-day conference will be dedicated to self-assembled functional materials and applications across disciplines such as chemistry, material science, theoretical chemistry, physics and biology and will be animated by worldwide-recognized experts in the field as well as outstanding early-stage career local scientists.
