Offer Description
Many of the new applications in biomedicine and nanotechnology are based on the possibility of controlling the formation of structures and dynamic processes at the mesoscale and processes at the micro- and even nanoscale. The understanding and control of the mechanisms that relate the functionality and supramolecular structure with the microscopic composition of the constituents is key to the development of new intelligent materials and processes. In this project, the student is asked to participate in one of our ongoing projects where we seek to understand the mechanisms that control the formation of micelles or nanoscale objects and their stability. Micelles of several tens or even hundreds of surfactants can spontaneously self-assemble in solution when sufficient surfactants are added. Even though such systems are widely used in many industries, models which are able to quantitatively link the surfactant molecular structure to the final micellar properties are lacking. We propose to investigate these systems by using molecular simulation techniques including a methodology developed in our group known as the Self-Consistent Single-Chain Mean Field Theory (SCMFT) as well as Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD).
