Polymers and Complex Fluids
The Scientific Federation delighted to welcome you to Global Summit on Chemistry & Chemical Engineering which will be held on February 26-27 at Abu Dhabi, UAE. This brings you an immense opportunity to be a part of scientific acceleration to world class personalities, young scholars, scientific delegates and young scientists to join in this forum to utilize the expertise and novelties that brings a new era for innovations in the field of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering which brings well versed scrutinizers at one place. It provides a platform to have open discussions, knowledge sharing and interactive sessions with field experts at GSCCE-2018.
The Polymers and Complex Fluids Group develops measurement methods, models, data, standards, and science for soft materials, such as multi-phase fluids, gels, and composites, and their constituent components, such as polymeric molecules, nano particles, colloids, and fibers. The Complex Fluids and Theoretical Polymer Physics group focuses on the structure and dynamics of complex fluids, with polymeric fluids being the overarching theme. The study of polymers and complex fluids is an active area of research within our department and is tightly interwoven with other areas. Topics of current interest include thermodynamic modeling of gelation and crystallization of nano particles in a variety of complex fluids, rheology of polymers and colloids, structure-property-processing relationships in polymers and composites.
Polymers are ubiquitous in modern life, as are complex fluids – soft materials with properties between those of liquids and solids. Researchers in the Chemical Engineering Department are developing polymer films for use in energy conversion, new polymers for flexible solar cells, membranes and medical devices, and polymer coatings that change properties when exposed to stimuli. The research in this area includes rheology studies, molecular simulation, colloid self-assembly, gelation and percolation.
The Polymer and Complex Fluids Group at the Colorado School of Mines combines expertise in the areas of flow and field based transport, intelligent design and synthesis as well as nano materials and nanotechnology. The faculty of the Polymer and Complex Fluids Group hold appointments in the Department of Chemistry and Geochemistry and Department of Chemical Engineering. A wide range of research tools employed by the group includes characterization using rheology, scattering, micro fluidics and field flow fractionation (FFF), synthesis of novel branched macromolecules and polymer brushes as well as theory and simulation involving molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo approaches.
