abstract = {Research in soft matter deals with the integration of
disciplines and subjects such as colloids, polymers or
amphiphilic molecules including living and synthetic matter.
In this field a joint approach of disciplines like physics,
chemistry, biology and simulation science is essential, in
order to arrive at novel insights. Challenges are e.g. the
understanding (i) of selfassembly as the basic structuring
mechanism in soft materials, (ii) of slow and often
hierarchical dynamics in complex environments, (iii) of out
of equilibrium systems and (iv) the establishment of a
bridge to biology. A molecular understanding of the
associated phenomena requires knowledge on the molecular
structure and dynamics, that is revealed uniquely by
scattering techniques in particular by the space time
resolving neutron probe. In my lecture I will go through
results addressing key challenges in the field. I will
discuss the efficiency boosting effect by amphiphilic
blockcopolymers in selfassembling microemulsions, I will
present kinetic results on the structure formation in the
selfassembly of polymer micelles. The dynamics of polymers
in nanocomposites will serve as an example for the slow
dynamics in complex environments including the issue of
confinement and finally I discuss direct measurements on the
space and time evolution of the interdomain motions in
proteins that are important in promoting biochemical
function.},
