Fundamental Physical Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses theory and computation to uncover the structure and motion of polymers.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering the structure and motion of polymers through theory and computation.
The Fundamental Physical Chemistry Lab studies structure formation and dynamics in polymer systems using statistical mechanics theory, computational science (simulation), and data science (informatics).
In many polymer materials, hierarchical higher-order structures form from the molecular level up to visible scales, and they greatly influence physical properties and functions.
The lab aims to understand and control the molecular-level mechanisms by which higher-order structures form and the dynamics of those structures.
Key terms
- Statistical mechanics
- A field that uses statistical methods to treat the behavior of large assemblies of molecules.
- Higher-order structure
- A large-scale structure formed by the aggregation of polymer chains.
- Gel
- A soft solid in which a polymer network holds a liquid such as water.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies structure formation and dynamics in polymer systems through statistical mechanics theory, computer simulation, and experiments.
*Illustrative imageStructure formation and dynamics of polymers
Beyond precise control of primary structure, the lab seeks to understand and control the mechanisms by which higher-order structures form and the molecular-level mechanisms of their dynamics, using statistical mechanics theory, computer simulation, and experiments.
*Illustrative imageAssociating polymers and gels
The lab studies the structure and properties of olympic gels, shear thickening of telechelic associating polymers, the hierarchical structure and rheology of thermosensitive associating polymers, and the network structure and mechanical properties of polymer gels.
*Illustrative imagePredicting physical properties with informatics
The lab conducts research on predicting the physical properties of polymer materials through simulation and informatics.
