Molecular Systems and Materials Assembly
Abstract
The Molecular Systems and Materials Assembly thrust is exploring new approaches for the synthesis, assembly, and characterization of molecules and materials from the atomic to the product scale. Ultimately, materials and methods developed in this thrust will support a wide range of DoD applications that span therapeutics, energetics and next generation optical materials. Specific approaches include non-traditional synthetic approaches such as the use of extreme pressure and/or temperature conditions, as well as the synthesis and rapid screening of many molecules to more quickly identify those with desired functions and/or properties. Efforts in this thrust also include assembly of these and other materials into micro-to-macro-scale objects and devices, as well as fundamental studies of the properties and function of molecular ensembles and systems. This thrust is an aggregation of programs previously contained in Nanoscale/Bio-inspired and MetaMaterials in addition to Fundamentals of Nanoscale and Emergent Effects and Engineered Devices.
