NSEC Thrust 1: polymer nanocomposites and gels
Overarching Achievement: Integrated
experimental and theoretical
understanding of structure,
viscoelasticity, and assembly of
nanoparticle-polymer systems bridging
the fields of colloid and polymer science
1) Established integrated experimental and theoretical understanding of the structure
and properties of nanoparticle gels /nanocomposites created by polymer-mediated
interactions
2) A new class of biphasic inks for direct-write assembly based on tunable mixtures
of attractive and repulsive nanoparticles that has already resulted in an order of
magnitude reduction in the size of the 3D features that can be written.
3) Established the role of competing attractive and repulsive forces on nanoparticle
assembly, properties, and dynamics of a broad class of polymer nanocomposites
based on tailored grafted-chain filler particles of controlled architecture.

Thrust 2: Nanostructured Biomolecule Composite Architectures
Rationale: Enable the efficient and selective interaction of biomolecules with
synthetic and natural nanoscale building blocks to generate functional assemblies
that benefit industry, the environment, and human health.

Integrating Knowledge and Activities Across Thrust 2
Overarching Achievement: Bridged the fields of biomolecular science with
materials science and engineering. Achieved a fundamental understanding of
molecular events that govern biological function and selectivity in non-biological
nanoscale environments. Impacted applications in sensor design, antifouling
materials, and hierarchical architectures linking the nano- and macro-scales in
biological systems.
Discovered the influence of nanoscale surface curvature on controlling the
structure and function of bound proteins
Achieved an understanding of the concept of hydrophobicity at the molecular
regime
Established design rules for the hierarchical assembly of amphiphilic materials,
including lipid-based membranes, organogels, and virus-like peptides that
restructure cell membranes
Developed highly active and stable self-cleaning/decontaminating surfaces and
highly selective and sensitive DNAzyme- and aptamer-based sensors

As a result of that vision – we have:
• Brought together the fields of colloids and nanocomposites
• Bridged understanding between nano / bio interactions
Our Next Area of Impact:
Taking advantage of the fundamental understanding in the nano/bio/polymer space
And translating it (including key manufacturing developments) into applications!
