This National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry Project Grant of $353,763 awarded on March 1, 2021 through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports computational studies of hierarchical assemblies in supramolecular comb polymers and discotic mesophases with mixed ligands. The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania will develop coarse-grained models and carry out systematic computational exploration of the structure and phase behavior of these assemblies. Yale University serves as a sub-awardee to present research results at scientific meetings and include findings in annual reports and peer-reviewed journal articles. The studies employ multi-scale modeling to investigate ligand interactions, phase diagrams, and properties as a function of temperature, density and ligand concentrations. Results aim to advance understanding of self-assembly in these complex systems.
