Molecular Materials — Molekyylimateriaalit

The multidisciplinary Molecular Materials group consists of physicists and chemists aiming at functional materials based on self-assembly and its hierarchies. We use polymers, conjugated polymers, polypeptides, liquid crystals, cellulose nanofibers and other carbon-based materials as structural units in supramolecular assemblies.

The leaders of the group are Academy Professor Olli Ikkala and Professor Janne Ruokolainen.

The Molecular Materials group is a part of the Department of Applied Physics at Aalto University (previously Helsinki University of Technology). We are also a member of The Center for New Materials.

The Molecular Materials group is located at the Nanotalo building in the Otaniemi campus area. Our building is directly connected to the newly built Nanomicroscopy Center administered by Professor Janne Ruokolainen, offering us a number of high resolution microscopy equipment for soft, hard and biomaterial characterization.

Summer 2013 student internship positions available! See the open positions page.
