Session: Computational Studies of Self-Assembly (2009 Annual Meeting)

Friday, November 13, 2009: 8:30 AM

Cheekwood C (Gaylord Opryland Hotel)

Description:

This session seeks papers that explore the thermodynamics, structural and dynamical properties of self-assembled systems. Subjects of interest include, but are not limited to: colloidal forces driving assembly, hierarchical organization, structural transitions, phase behavior, and multi-scale models spanning molecular to mesoscopic length and time scales for assembly. The emphasis is on simulation and computational papers, but theoretical models and complementary experimental papers are also welcome.
