Session: Self-Assembled Biomaterials (2009 Annual Meeting)

Monday, November 9, 2009: 12:30 PM

Cheekwood B (Gaylord Opryland Hotel)

Description:

This session welcomes submissions that highlight recent work describing the self-assembly of biological molecules or the self-assembly of non-biological molecules for biomaterials applications. Papers can cover novel experimental, theoretical or computational studies that describe the formation of materials from the non-covalent assembly of constituent molecules.
