prof.dr.ir. J (Jasper) van der Gucht
Professor/ChairholderJasper van der Gucht is professor of physical chemistry and soft matter at Wageningen University. He leads an interdisciplinary group that aims to understand the microscopic mechanisms that underlie mechanical properties and functioning of soft materials, in particular (bio)polymer and colloidal materials. For this, his group combines experimental characterization with theory and computer simulations. Some of his current interests include polymer materials based on electrostatic interactions, structure formation in drying films, and fracture and non-linear mechanics of biopolymer networks.
