Nanoparticle and polymer physics

Studies of the many different and important basic roles polymers play in all biological systems, and the many crucial applications of biopolymers in both medicine and industry. Includes both experimental and theoretical studies.
 

Experimental techniques

  • Static and dynamic light scattering
  • Nanocalorimetry. Differential and isotermic.
  • Molecular electrooptics. Transient birefringence and dichroism.
  • Circular dichroism.
  • Electron microscopy. Freeze etching and heavy metal replica.
  • Light microscopy.
  • Rheology. High freqency viscoelasticity; 100 - 100 000 Hz
  • Spectroscopy. Absorption of UV-light and visible light.
  • Liquid chromatography. Ion exchange and size exclusion

Theory and numerical modelling

  • Further development of nanoparticle models
  • Brownian dynamic simulations
