Biomaterials (08b)

#40 - Self-Assembled Biomaterials: Part I (08B06)
We invite papers on all aspects of biomaterial self-assembly in aqueous solution, including the self-assembly of biocompatible and/or biodegradable amphiphiles, carbohydrates, DNA, lipids, peptides, proteins, and polymers. The formation, structure, interactions, dynamics, and rheology of self-assembled biomaterials are all of interest. Experimental, theoretical, and computational studies are all appropriate.
