Who we are

The Laboratory of Colloidal Methods for Multifunctional Materials (CM3-Lab) is a Max Planck Partner Group of the Department of Physical Chemistry of Polymers of the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research based at the Institute of Materials Science of the University of Valencia (ICMUV). This cooperative project started the activities on June 2017 and is headed by Rafael Muñoz-Espí. The CM3-Lab is associated to the Unit on Polymer Materials at ICMUV.

We focus on the development of multifunctional hybrid systems to be used as platforms for the sustainable use of resources. How to apply the confinement provided by colloidal systems for the control of structure and properties of polymer materials and polymer/inorganic hybrids is the central scientific question of our team.
