Covers the basics of polymer biophysics, including DNA conformation modeling and the Boltzmann principle, emphasizing the exponential decay of correlations between segments.
Explores the thermodynamics of polymer blends, phase diagrams, miscible blends, phase segregation, block copolymers, and applications in thermoplastic elastomers and nanotechnology.
Explores autonomously moving and assembling soft matter systems, focusing on hydrogel actuators, latch-mediated spring actuation, and self-spinning filament bundles.
