      "The focus of Physical Chemistry is on the chemical and physical properties of molecules and molecular assemblies, together with their behaviour in (bio)chemical processes, their interactions in complex systems, and their phase and interfacial behaviour. Nature can be taken as an example for studying and synthesising new compounds with interesting chemical or physical properties, so that they can be used in applications ranging from LCDs, biosensors or to improve properties of food.

Nature can be taken as an example for studying and synthesising new compounds with interesting chemical or physical properties, so that they can be used in applications ranging from LCDs, biosensors or to improve properties of food. Attention is paid to the design and synthesis of compounds with special properties (e.g. with respect to phase behaviour). Advanced techniques are used to deal with research issues ranging from fundamental subjects like supramolecular structures, association colloids, `surface forces' and wetting of interfaces, to more applied ones such as the development of organic solar-energy cells, stabilisation aspects in food technology, environmental technology and (bio)nanotechnology."
