Universidad Complutense de Madrid
Directors: Francisco Ortega Gómez y Ramón González Rubio
The GSC group of the Complutense University at Madrid is dedicated to the experimental study of both polymeric and coloidal systems, and interfaces (liquid/ gas, liquid/liquid and liquid/solid). During the last thirty years the GSC has addressed different research topics and developed a number of state of the art experimental techniques, not previously existed in Spain. This is the case of capillary wave techniques (quasielastic surface light scattering and electrocapillary waves). Currently the GSC focuses on four research lines:
• Microrheology of 3D systems (sol-gel transition) and 2D (polymer, surfactant and lipid monolayers).
• Nano and microparticles traped at fluid interfaces (structure, dynamics and the role of the three phase contact angle)
• Preparation of nanostructures using the alternating layer-by-layer method (using as templates solid and fluid surfaces and micro and nano-templates like colloids, liposomes, etc.)
• “Spreading” and evaporation of complex fluids.
