The new Soft Matter Facility (SoMF) is the user facility focused on characterization of multifunctional soft materials. The facility includes four instrumentation suites based on the soft-matter-centered research areas which will be unified by the general theme of characterization of hierarchically structured multi-component, multifunctional soft materials: Molecular Characterization, Processing & Mechanics, Thin Films & Interfacial Analysis, and Nanostructure Characterization.
