Self-Assembly and Supramolecular Chemistry GRC 2027: Programming Dynamic Function Using Molecular Self-Organization

Sessions run from molecular self-assembly to functional materials and cover self-assembling biological building blocks; dynamic polymer networks; functional supramolecular polymers; colloidal assemblies and their emergent functions; out-of-equilibrium self-assembling systems; mechanically interlocked molecules and materials; coordination cages and porous assemblies; and the interface between synthetic and living matter through supramolecular systems. The programme reserves time for discussion after each talk, poster sessions open to all career stages and informal exchange; an associated Gordon Research Seminar for early-career scientists runs in conjunction and needs its own application.
