  1. 1062. Complex ordered phases of multiblock copolymers
    An-Chang Shi (McMaster University)

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Self-assembly of multiblock copolymers presents a great opportunity to generate tailored polymeric materials with hierarchically ordered nano-scale domains. At the same time, the phase complexity of multiblock copolymers presents a great challenge to experimental and theoretical study of their phase behavior. Theoretically the self-consistent field theory (SCFT) provides a powerful framework...

  2. 1158. Electrophoresis of a charged polymer attached to an uncharged object: does the nature of the object matter?

    Electrophoresis is the motion of charged objects in a fluid in an electric field. Electrophoretic separation of DNA molecules by length is important in many biomedical applications. It is normally done in a nanoporous medium, such as a gel, since uniformly charged polymers move at the same speed, regardless of their length. This is because such polymers are electrophoretically free-draining,...

  3. 1125. Conformational free energy of polymers under confinement
    Prof. James Polson (University of Prince Edward Island)
    16/06/2016, 14:00
    Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)
    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    An understanding of the physical properties of polymers in confined environments is essential for the development of nanofluidic devices for DNA analysis, as well as for understanding the organization of bacterial chromosomes. Theoretical treatments of the dynamical behaviour of confined polymers often employ analytical approximations of the conformational free energy. Monte Carlo (MC)...

  4. 1428. Molecular insight to biocompatibility of carbon-based nanomaterials
    Oleg Rubel (Department of Materials Science and Engineering, McMaster University)

    Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Biomaterials are widely used for manufacturing implants. One of the most common reasons for implant failure is its immune rejection. Changes in the conformation of blood proteins (e.g., fibrinogen) due to their binding to nonbiological surfaces are the initial step in a chain of immunological reactions to foreign bodies. Despite the large number of experimental studies that have been performed...
