Starting soon (10am PST/1pm EST)! @anuktaDT will give a virtual seminar on her work measuring and modeling polymer deformations and rheology in dilute solution at extreme shear rates. All are welcome to join – details below @SoRheology! #EverythingFlows

[The Society of Rheology @SoRheology]

Please join us on Thursday, Jan 30th from 1-3:30 PM EST for the Future of Rheology Seminar to hear from Anukta Datta (UCSB) on Measuring and modeling deformations of a topologically defined polymer using in-situ capillary rheo-SANS.

[BioPACIFIC MIP @BioPACIFICMIP]

New from @HawkerNation, Valentine and @professor_meh groups! 🌟 HOPO-functionalized materials show enhanced stability, metal-ion chelation, & tunable properties for cutting-edge applications like sensors & robotics.

Great to catch up with @flowslikemike and @bayleslab for a mini group reunion over some delicious tacos @SoRheology #SoR2024! #alpastor #CaliforniaKnowsHowToParty

[BioPACIFIC MIP @BioPACIFICMIP]

New from BioPACIFIC MIP researchers! 📘 The Gram–Charlier Expansion is a novel way to analyze nonideal polymer conformations, offering new precision in understanding complex structures.

p.s. If you’d rather see the work in person, @professor_meh will present a talk on GCAPS at the @SORheology Annual Meeting on Thursday at 10:55am. Or - if you aren't a the conference that long, come find him to get a preview of the talk #EverythingFlows #NotEverythingIsGaussian

[the Helgeson Lab @theHelgesonLab]

Out now @MacroJrnls_ACS! We present an analysis to model non-Gaussian polymer conformations from scattering & simulation. Link here, & follow along below for a tweetorial on using non-Gaussian descriptors to understand polymer structures & properties!🧵 /1

This work was led by @anuktaDT, and stemmed from a @doescience collaboration with Patrick Underhill & his student Tina Wang @RPIEng. Thanks to Rachel Segalman, Shawn Mengel and Audra DeStefano @UCSBengineering for contributing the experiments on polypeptoids. Cheers! /15 /🧵
