Our objectives are:

• To promote the application of physics in graphics arts technology, printing, packaging and papermaking
• To promote the development of innovative printing in new markets such as displays, lighting and printed electronics
• To promote a recognition of the importance of physics in those industries, and to promote physics in these industries as a career choice to graduates
• To act as a forum for communication within the scientific community in these industries

The Liquids and Complex Fluids Group aims to advance research into the liquid state of matter, complex fluids, and soft condensed matter by fostering collaborations between experimentalists, theorists and computer simulators working in these fields.

Its scope encompasses both structure and dynamics from microscopic to mesoscopic and macroscopic length scales in systems ranging from ʽsimpleʼ liquids to all kinds of complex fluids and soft materials such as polymers, emulsions, gels, foams, colloids, liquid crystals, and their biological counterparts. As such, the group enjoys close links with the Polymer Physics Group and the Biological Physics Group.
