Polymer and
Complex Fluids at the
Colorado School of Mines
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 nanomaterials 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, microfluidics
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.
