livMatS Colloquium | Prof. Thomas Potthast (Universität Tübingen) | Sustainable Development, Medicine and Ethics: Topoi of health in individual, collective and planetary constellations, and their implications
Wednesday 16:00 pm - 17:15 pm
Health issues have played a central role in the debate on Sustainable Development ever since the foundational UN report "Our Common Future" in 1987, right up to the current Goal 3 "Good Health and Well-Being" of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition to combating poverty, promoting and safeguarding health is one of the conditions of possibility for humans to fulfil their needs. In this respect, health and the conservation of natural resources and the environment are not mutually exclusive but form common elements of a just and safe future. In this talk, the underlying conceptual interrelationships will be systematically analysed:...

livMatS Colloquium | Dr. Anita Roth-Nebelsick (State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart) | Models and Reality in Biomimetic Research
Wednesday 16:00 pm - 17:15 pm
A core concept of biomimetics is the “abstraction” of a biological functionality, meaning the identification of its working principles to be transferred into a technical application. This procedure is based on the analysis of a sequence of models: the “model organism” itself, explanatory and analytic models of the observed “functional concept” and finally prototypes. In many biomimetic texts or projects, it is implicitly assumed that...

Water-based complex coacervates (CC) from associative phase separation of oppositely-charged polyelectrolytes are an emerging class of functional soft materials with tunable mechanical properties from stiff solids to viscous liquids. [1,2] Despite the potential of these materials as sustainable alternatives to chemically crosslinked systems, the occurrence of phase separation is a major limitation for...
