Biological and synthetic macromolecules related to nanoscale phenomena. Challenges and opportunities associated with natural and synthetic polymers on the nanoscale. Molecular recognition, self-assembled nanostructures, scaffolds and templates, functional nanomaterials, amphiphilic architectures, nanocomposites, and nanomachines. Applications to sensing, biomaterials, drug delivery, and polymer based devices. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 3600 or permission of the department. Also offered at the graduate level, with different requirements, as CHEM 5207, CHEM 5208, for which additional credit is precluded. Lectures three hours a week.
