Polymers Have "Intelligent" Surfaces: Polymer Surface Dynamics

J.D. Andrade

Departments of Materials Science and Bioengineering, Center for Biopolymers at Interfaces, 2480 MEB, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112

The "intelligence" of synthetic macromolecules is currently a topic of great interest, popularity, and activity. The understanding of macromolecule mechanics and dynamics has reached the stage where unique and novel applications are being developed.

Here I present basic principles of polymer surface science, bulk polymer dynamics, and some selected areas in polymer surface dynamics.

I include a brief treatment of the complexity of highly dynamic, multi-domain, macromolecular surfaces and their interactions with highly dynamic, multi-domain "block copolymer" proteins which are important in biocompatibility and biotechnology.
