About this opportunity
The Macromolecular, Supramolecular, and Nanochemistry (MSN) Program focuses on novel basic research that addresses fundamental questions and advances knowledge regarding the chemistry of macromolecular, supramolecular, and nanoscopic structures. Research of interest to this program will explore novel chemistry concepts including, but not limited to: synthesis of macromolecular, supramolecular, and nanoscopic structures; surface functionalization methodologies; surface monolayer chemistry; and template-directed synthesis; inter- and intra-molecular interactions that give rise to macromolecular, supramolecular, or nanoparticulate self-assembly into discrete structures (but not liquid phases, liquid crystals, or extended solids); and chemical dynamics that are responsible for spatial in discr...
