Summary
With the support of the Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry Program of the Division of Chemistry, Prof. Milliron and Prof. Truskett at the University of Michigan seek to develop a fundamental understanding of the forces that keep nanoscale particles of metal oxides (nanocrystals) suspended as soluble inks or can lead to their precipitation. The results will be relevant for the understanding how nanocrystals can be effectively integrated in electronic or optical devices, and the concepts can be extended to help rationalize biomolecular interactions.
