Statistical Thermodynamics of Complex Liquids
22.52J · Chemical Engineering, Nuclear Science and Engineering, Physics · Graduate · Spring 2004
Prof. Sow-Hsin Chen
This course explores the theory of self-assembly in surfactant-water (micellar) and surfactant-water-oil (micro-emulsion) systems. It also introduces the theory of polymer solutions, as well as scattering techniques, light, x-ray, and neutron scattering applied to studies of the structure and dynamics of complex liquids, and modern theory of the liquid state relevant to structured (supramolecular) liquids.
