Project Themes

In order to direct crystallisation processes with a degree of control comparable to biology, we need to conduct our experiments under well-defined reaction conditions, and to be able to characterise the crystallisation pathway.  We also need to use cutting-edge characterisation methods to study crystallisation over multiple length and time-scales.   DYNAMIN is meeting this challenge through four Themes.

Theme 1: Controlling the Early Stages of Crystallisation in Droplets

Theme 2: Crystallisation within Defined Micro-environments: The Crystal Hotel

Theme 3:  Dynamic Control of Self-Assembling Biomolecules

Theme 4: Material Synthesis Triggered by the Transformation of Amorphous Precursors
