Program Highlights

Charge transport in arrays of multicomponent nanostructures

Researchers, Dmitri Talapin and collaborators, at the University of Chicago MRSEC have been studying electronic properties of new nanoscale materials consisting of both magnetic and semiconducting components (FePt and PbS).Â’  These components are integrated into i

Green Chemistry of Poly(l-lactides)

As part of a series of studies on the green chemistry of poly(l-lactides), we have performed a theoretical study of the mechanism of ring-opening polymerization.

Polymer Dynamics in Concentrated Solution

The dynamics of entangled polymer solutions far from equilibrium is, at present, a subject of considerab

Flow-Enhanced Vesicle Deformation in the Four-roll Mill

This project leverages ongoing research on the dynamics of DNA and vescicles within CPIMA.Â’  We have developed a novel microfluidic four-roll mill that allows all flow types (from extension to shear to rotation) to be accessed and have previously used it to examine DNA tumbling in mixed flows and, most recently, to study vesicle dynamics.

DNA-tethered Membrane Formation From Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

We have developed two strategies forÂ’  preparing tethered lipid bilayer membrane patches on solid surfaces by DNA hybridization.Â’  In the first strategy, single-stranded
