      materials, relevant for
      applications in industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The LPM applies macroscopic experimental techniques to investigate thermal and mechanical properties of matter. The group has active research programs investigating flow behaviour and phase transitions of polymer and rubber compounds, flow induced crystallization and ordering of complex fluids, rheological properties of granular media, pastes and biological samples.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
