Summary
The first part of the course is devoted to the self-assembly of molecules. In the second part we discuss basic physical chemical principles of polymers in solutions, at interfaces, and in bulk. Finally, we look at colloids and emulsions.Content
- Self-assembly in liquids
- Thermotropic liquid crystals
- Lyotropic liquid crystals
- Micelles

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:- Design molecules that assemble into a desired superstructure
- Predict the influence of changes in the structure of molecules on their self-assembly behavior
- Estimate the influence of the structure of soft materials on their properties
- Modify surfaces to impart a desired functionality to them
- Design colloids with a tunable interparticle interaction
- Design microscopic materials made from colloidal buildling blocks
- Design stable emulsions and dispersions
