 * =Aims =

This 2 nd workshop is addressed to a multidisciplinary scientific community with enhanced exchanges between high level senior scientist and young researchers. It is an opportunity to give young researchers (PhD students and fellowships) a global overview of elaboration and characterization of complex materials found in many domains at the frontier of several disciplines (physics, chemistry, biology, applied mathematics, kkkk chemical engineering…).

=Scope =

The workshop will focus on elaboration as well as study at different scales of properties and structure of complex multi-component systems from polymers, colloids, amphiphiles, particles, membranes, with some degree of self-organization, a high sensitivity to external fields and specific dynamical properties. Experimental and theoretical understanding is still a challenge for the scientific community, because these complex and disordered materials present strong interactions and often have multiple correlations of spatial and temporal scales, unlike simple liquids and solids. The functional design of structured materials is the cause of many technological advances in the field of civil engineering, textiles and innovative coatings, energy, nano-materials, .... for a few examples. A new field of investigation includes the living world. It is built through self-assembly of biological macromolecules and inspires the development of biomimetic materials by processes involving mechanisms of supramolecular organic and inorganic self-assembly.

** Topics **
 * Elaboration and performing of multiscale structured materials
 * Thermal and rheological characterization of materials
 * Diffusion, microscopy, laser spectroscopy, acoustics for characterization of materials
 * Statistics and numerical analysis applied to the study of materials
