'Simulation of self-assembled polymer and surfactant systems'
http://www.circle4.com/phd/
Peter Nelson has made an illustrated summary of his Ph.D. work available
on the web. A lattice model is used to investigate the equilibrium size
and shape
distributions of self-assembled surfactant aggregates.
'The American Chemical Society'
http://www.acs.org
The ACS sponsors two national meetings a year, with special conference
sessions on molecular modeling, computational chemistry, and colloids and
polymers. Additionally, there is an annual specialized symposium on colloid
and surface science.
'The American Institute of Chemical Engineers'
http://www.aiche.org
This AIChE sponsors a national meeting every November, with special
conference sessions on molecular simulation, polymer thermodynamics, thermodynamics
of self-assembly, polymer thin films and interfaces, fundamental research
in interfacial phenomena, self-assembly in solution, colloidal dispersions,
applications of microstructured fluids, transport at interfaces, emulsions
and foams, rheology of dispersions, and supercritical fluids.
'Neutron Research Facilities Worldwide'
http://www.lansce.lanl.gov/neutron_topics.html
This comprehensive list contains 17 neutron research facilities, along
with four related facilities and a list of neutron research related conferences.
The list is maintained by the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE),
Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico. The Center is a national user
facility available to scientists from industry, academia, and other national
laboratories for condensed matter experiments. Neutrons are generated by
a high-power pulsed spallation source, and seven state-of-the-art spectrometers
for neutron scattering and three for nuclear physics are available to probe
the structure and dynamics of solids and liquids.
'Neutron Scattering: A Primer'
http://lib-www.lanl.gov/la-pubs/00285854.pdf
This publication (in PDF file format) of the Los Alamos Neutron Science
Center is a good introduction to neutron scattering fundamentals.
'The Surface Forces Laboratory of Prof. Jacob Israelachvili'
http://www.chemengr.ucsb.edu/~sfalab/
This is the home page of the group of Jacob Israelachvili, at the University
of California, Santa Barbara. This site includes information on the Mark
III Surface Forces Apparatus, a device for measuring the forces between
two molecularly smooth surfaces.
'Fluid Structure and Properties Research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory'
http://www.ornl.gov/divisions/ctd/EnergyResearch/SolutionThermo.html
This site describes current work in the ORNL Fluid Structure and Properties
group, including studies of reverse micelles in supercritical CO2, and
properties of supercritical solutions as studied by small angle X-ray and
neutron scattering. A link to a search engine of all ORNL research is provided.
'The Max-Planck-Institute of Colloids and Interfaces'
http://www.mpikg.fta-berlin.de
This institute conducts research covering a wide variety of surface
phenomena, including soluble and insoluble monolayers, oil-water interfaces,
complex films, wetting, foam films, surface chemistry, and the development
of methods for interface characterization.
