Unlike hard materials composed of strongly bonded atoms, soft materials built by molecular association are typically transparent, flexible, light, and processable by simple techniques of melting, dissolution, and evaporation. As a result, molecular materials play crucial roles in technology and are beginning to replacing classical hard materials in key areas, such as electronics. However, devising sophisticated soft materials for such uses requires deeper understanding of rules governing how molecules associate and behave collectively in materials. Exploring these areas is a top priority of modern science, and major insights will yield breakthroughs in technology. Previous support provided by the Canada Research Chair in Molecular Materials has let our group master multidisciplinary skills needed to study all aspects of molecular organization and to produce useful new soft materials by design. We are now in a unique position to lead international efforts to create a new generation of advanced molecular materials.

与由强键合原子组成的硬质材料不同，由分子缔合构建的软质材料通常透明、柔韧、轻，并且可通过熔化、溶解和蒸发等简单技术进行加工。因此，分子材料在技术中发挥着至关重要的作用，并开始在电子等关键领域取代传统的硬质材料。然而，设计用于此类用途的复杂软材料需要更深入地了解控制分子在材料中如何关联和集体行为的规则。探索这些领域是现代科学的首要任务，重大见解将带来技术突破。加拿大分子材料研究主席先前提供的支持使我们的团队掌握了研究分子组织各个方面和通过设计生产有用的新型软材料所需的多学科技能。我们现在处于独特的地位，可以引领国际社会创造新一代先进分子材料。
