Nanoscale physics of surfactant gene delivery
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-18)Medicine has met a revolution in the expansion of possibilities for therapy based upon synthetic gene delivery. Imagine the ability to correct problems of a genetic origin with a simple drug -- such science fiction fantasies ... -
The Self-Assembly of Particles with Isotropic Interactions
(IOP publishing, 2013-07-03)A generic field-theoretic model for the self-assembly of particles with isotropic interactions, motivated by ideas in DNA-mediated colloidal assembly, is presented. A simplest possible system of colloids in explicit ... -
The self-assembly of particles with isotropic interactions: Using DNA coated colloids to create designer nanomaterials
(AIP publishing, 2014-04-03)Self-consistent field theory equations are presented that are suitable for use as a coarse-grained model for DNA coated colloids, polymer-grafted nanoparticles and other systems with approximately isotropic interactions. ... -
Spherically Confined Polymers: Monte Carlo Simulations with Expanded Ensemble Density-of-States Method
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-20)In this thesis, the Expanded Ensemble Density-of-States (EXEDOS) method - a combination of the Wang-Landau and Expanded Ensemble Monte Carlo algorithms is employed to investigate spatial conformations of a polymer chain ...
