Understanding and engineering multiphase amphiphilic block copolymers — NSF Award to University of California-Irvine (CA, $401,000
This project explores how certain types of molecules come together to form tiny structures that can be useful in medicine, energy, and the environment. These molecules are special because they have parts that like water and parts that don’t, so they naturally organize themselves when mixed with liquids. This self-organ

| Abstract | This project explores how certain types of molecules come together to form tiny structures that can be useful in medicine, energy, and the environment. These molecules are special because they have parts that like water and parts that don’t, so they naturally organize themselves when mixed with liquids. This self-organization can lead to the creation of materials like soft particles or thin films, which are useful for carrying medicine, storing energy, or cleaning up pollution. The research will |
