SYMPOSIUM
Symposium H:
Soft Matter and Biomaterial Interface
Soft matter including polymer, gel, colloids, and biomacromolecule has been of significance in cutting edge technology of nano- and bio-materials. Especially, flexibility of soft matter provides dynamic properties to its interface in response to the external environmental changes. This interface is defined as “smart interface” and has been developed for biomaterial interface. This symposium focuses on a wide range of soft matter and biomaterial interface topics, which include, but not limited to stimuli-responsive/self-healing materials, application of colloids and nanoparticles, and supramolecular chemistry (polymers, peptides, proteins, and DNA). Those soft matters with functionalities and self-assembly contribute to creation of novel nanomaterials, therefore, the world-wide interest of soft matter and biomaterial interface has been continuously growing. This symposium also encourages students and young researchers to participate in the active discussion of soft matter and biomaterials interface, and to make collaborative connections for future. Contributions from synthesis, characterization, theory, and simulation are welcome.
Topics will include:
-
Synthesis, characterization, theory, and simulation of functional polymers, polymer-based materials, and composites
-
Supramolecular chemistry of polymers, peptides, proteins, and DNA
-
Characterization and application of colloids and nanoparticles
-
Synthesis, characterization, theory, and simulation of interfacial materials for bio-applications
