German Association of Nanotechnology, independent, non-profit organization, first national professional association for people working in nano technologies and sciences.

"We study complex fluids, including Brownian and non-Brownian particle suspensions, emulsions, polymers, and mixtures of the above."

"We study the physics of soft condensed matter, materials which are easily deformable by external stresses, electric or magnetic fields, or even by thermal fluctuations."

"We study the physics of soft matter model systems and, using these insights, fabricate new mesostructured materials from them."
