The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $900,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on May 1, 2021 to support research titled "Dynamics of Block Copolymer Micelles" through April 30, 2026. Under the award, the University will conduct research to advance understanding of the dynamics of block copolymer micelles. Block copolymers are a class of synthetic polymers composed of different polymer chains linked together. In aqueous solutions, they can self-assemble into core-shell nano-sized micelle structures. The research funded by this award seeks to gain new insights into the physical properties and behavior of these micelle structures. The award is provided through the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This program aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise by increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems in mathematical and physical sciences. The University's research on block copolymer micelle dynamics directly advances the program's goals of promoting progress in these scientific fields.
