Applications
Building on this fundamental understanding, we explore a wide range of applications of ionic soft matter. These include therapeutic systems, where the molecular environment can influence activity and delivery, as well as the development of advanced functional materials such as eutectogels. More broadly, we aim to leverage the tunability of these systems to design materials with tailored properties for specific technological and biomedical applications.
