Poster Abstract Draft
Title: “Dynamic Bonds to Enhance Polymer Compatibilization” This project uses molecular dynamics simulations to explore how dynamic bonds affect the miscibility of polymer blends. Polymer compatibilization is of great interest in the recycling industry because mixed plastics are made of different polymer types, such as Polethelene and Polypropelene (1). Polymers with different interaction strengths will … Read more
Statistical Description of Electromagnetic Wavefronts for Extreme Near-field Micromanipulations
Faculty Sponsor: Tsampikos Kottos Live Poster Session: Zoom Link Abstract: We design a wavefront shaping protocol which maximizes the electromagnetic forces acting at a specific location in an arbitrary complex scattering medium. Our approach utilizes appropriate physical operators, that rely on the measured scattering matrix, whose eigenvectors can be used for the design of wavefronts … Read more
