Confinement and Template Directed Assembly in Chemical and Biomolecular Materials

We use synchrotron x-ray scattering, scanning probe and optical microscopy  techniques to study fundamental properties of complex fluids,  simple liquids, macromolecular assemblies, polymers, and biomolecular materials under confinement and on templates. The challenges are:

(1) to understand liquids under nano-confinement, (2) how templates and confinement can be used to direct the assembly, (3) to understand the fundamental interactions which give rise to similar self-assembly behavior for a wide variety of systems, and (4) how the resulting order correlates with the functional properties.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
