Under Confinement: Molecular Separation, Transportation, and Reactivity Modulation

​Dr. Angela Grommet will give her research presentation for Assistant Professor within the Materials Science Area of Advance. Welcome!​​​
​

WHO: Angela Grommet, Karolinska Institute

​WHEN: 7 June, 10:30–11:20

WHERE: PJ, seminar room, Kemigården 1, Fysik Origo, Chalmers Campus Johanneberg

​​ABSTRACT:

By confining molecules within a material, we gain control over their physical and chemical behaviour. During this seminar, we will explore how to sort molecular cargo by size, how to transport molecular cargo through space, and how to stabilise reactive cargo. 
These capabilities are common to materials ranging in scale from coordination cages to lipid nanoparticles; and to cargos including small molecules, photoswitches, and oligonucleotides. Principles of confinement lead to several new directions for developing novel biomaterials.
