In a recently published study by the Pojman research team, a trithiol-triacrylate gel system for frontal polymerization was explored, opening new doors in material science. The system allows the formation and modification of complex geometries. Discover how the group was able to develop a system that is potentially useful for examining how mechanical forces like stretching and compression can affect front kinetics. https://lnkd.in/gh_Fiug9 #LSUChemistry

Our recent paper was published in JPCC, where we focused on the interaction between surfactant coating and various single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) ranging from small to large diameters. We first initiated experimental probing of these interactions, but encountered limitations/challenges in achieving robust results due to a few reasons, which were not discussed in the published article. Nevertheless, this article represents several milestones, including: • Developing a methodology based on #machine_learning for cluster analysis on colloid solutions to determine #micelle_aggregation_numbers. • Generating a unique #morphology_diagram attempting to correlate the amount of surfactant adsorbed on nanotubes with their diameter through extensive MD simulations with half a million atoms! • Determining that surfactant coating on nanotubes is a #blend_of_phases as we transition from their surface to the bulk environment. I have several ideas for future work and am also excited to see what other researchers can contribute, both experimentally and computationally to investigate such system in more depth. You can access the paper through the following link. I should acknowledge San Diego Supercomputer and Pittsburgh Supuercomputing centers, our project's success depended greatly on the access to these exceptional resources. I am also grateful to my PIs, Profs. Weisman and Kolomeisky for their continuous support. #machine_learning_for_colloid_solutions #soft_matter #colloid_chemistry #micelles #SWCNT #Chemistry_Rice_University
