Self Assembly

'The Eisenberg Research Group at McGill'
http://bravo436.chem.mcgill.ca/
This is the homepage of Professor Adi Eisenberg, whose group has a wide range of interests centered on ion-containing block copolymers, especially their self-assembly to give aggregates of various morphologies.

'Lehrstuhl Prof. Dr. G. Maret, Universitaet Konstanz'
http://hera.physik.uni-konstanz.de/Start.htm
The group of Professor Georg Maret conducts research in colloids and optical techniques, including the application of optical tweezers and protein dynamics. (site in German and English)

'The Shakhnovich Group at Harvard'
http://www-shakh.harvard.edu/~peter/web/
The group of Professor Eugene Shakhnovich studies experimental and theoretical protein folding, de novo drug design, and analytical polymer theory.

'73rd ACS Colloid and Surface Science Symposium'
http://web.mit.edu/cheme/colloids/
This is the internet site for the next Colloid and Surface Science Symposium, to be held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in June 1999. Symposium topics include Applications of Structured Fluids, Biological Response via Surface Modification, Colloidal and Interfacial Dynamics, Dendritic Systems, Metal/Organic Interfaces, Molecular & Polymeric Liquid Crystals, Nanoparticle Formation & Modification, Self-Assembly in Solution, Self-Assembly at Surfaces and Surface Science & Catalysis.

'The Surfactants Virtual Library'
