Symposia Day (DCMMP) - Fluctuations and Disorder in Condensed Matter

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Over the last decade, theoretical advances by Giorgio Parisi, Francesco Zamponi and coworkers have provided an exact solution to the glass problem in the limit of infinite spatial dimension. Interestingly, the dynamical arrest this work predicts is consistent with the mode-coupling theory of glasses, and the ensuing entropy crisis at the Kauzmann transition with the random first-order...

3411. (I) Linking placement of associating groups along polymer chains to phase behavior of polymer blends using PRISM theory and molecular simulations

Symposia Day (DCMMP) - Fluctuations and Disorder in Condensed Matter

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Phase behavior of polymer blends (i.e., the miscibility or phase separation of the two or more polymer chemistries in the blend) can be tuned by incorporation of functional groups that allow for favorable association between the polymers in the blend. In this talk, we will present our current work involving Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model (PRISM) theory and coarse-grained molecular...

3412. (I) Building blocks of soft matter crystals: Complex symmetries via frustrated packing of ‘mesoatomic’ elements in block copolymer melts

Symposia Day (DCMMP) - Fluctuations and Disorder in Condensed Matter

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Supramolecular soft crystals are periodic structures formed by the hierarchical assembly of macromolecular constituents and occur in a broad variety “soft matter” systems, from polymers and liquid crystals to biological matter. Often the building blocks consist of groups of molecules, termed “mesoatoms,” such collections are readily reconfigurable individually and collectively at the...
