“Molecular Order and Mobility in Polymer Systems”

Description

The main aim of the Symposium is to discuss modern problems of physics and chemistry of complex stimuli-responsive polymer systems with nano-structure organization and "soft" order preserving a pronounced molecular mobility. Both experimental data and results of theory and simulation will be presented.  The Symposium program will include about 20 plenary lectures, oral presentations and poster sections.

Topics include:

1.  Conformations and properties of macromolecules of complex architecture: star-like molecules, molecular brushes, dendrimers.

2.  Structure and properties of polymer brushes and haired nano-objects.

3. Macromolecular self-assembly: micelles, multi-compartment structures, inter-polymer/polyelectrolyte complexes.

4. Structure and properties of complexes: polymer/nano-particle or biological objects.

5. Polymer networks and composites. 

Joint summer school  “Theory and modeling of solutions of branched ionic macromoles” will be organized as a part of the EC FP-7 International Staff Exchange Scheme (contract agreement with EC PIRSES-GA-2013-612562, POLION) “Mesoscopic modeling of synthetic and biological ionic macromolecular systems.” 

Abstracts must be in English and can be submitted before April 10, 2014.
