Bernd Stühn

Bernd Stühn is a Professor in the Department of Physics, specializing in advanced materials and soft matter systems. His research focuses on polymer physics, nanotechnology, and the structural characterization of complex materials using techniques like X-ray scattering and neutron spectroscopy.

Key research areas include the synthesis and self-assembly of block copolymers, nanotube fabrication via ion-track technology, and the study of magnetic nanoparticle systems. He has extensively investigated confinement effects on polymer dynamics, phase behavior of water/PEG mixtures, and the development of redox-responsive materials.

His work combines experimental approaches (e.g., small-angle X-ray scattering, dielectric spectroscopy) with theoretical modeling to understand structure-property relationships in nanocomposites, colloidal systems, and confined environments. Over 15 years of publications reflect a sustained focus on advancing materials science through interdisciplinary methodologies.
