This program emphasizes application of the principles of statistical thermodynamics to understanding and predicting phase behavior and phase equilibria in colloidal systems. Systems of interest include multicomponent surfactant mixtures, micellization and surfactant phase equilibria, protein partitioning in aqueous two-phase polymer systems, and phase separation of lens protein solutions in relations to cataract disease. The field of phase behavior and phase equilibria in complex and supermolecular fluids is of central importance to a broad spectrum of industrial, technological, and biomedical areas including detergency, wetting, paint and cosmetic technology, enhanced oil recovery, biopolymer separations, cholesterol metabolism, and cataract disease. This rapidly developing field provides a new and exciting arena for the synthesis of concepts and computational methods from a diversity of scientific disciplines including physics, chemistry, engineering, and biomedicine.

本课程强调应用统计热力学原理来理解和预测胶体系统中的相行为和相平衡。感兴趣的系统包括多组分表面活性剂混合物，胶束化和表面活性剂相平衡，水两相聚合物系统中的蛋白质分配，以及与白内障疾病相关的晶状体蛋白质溶液的相分离。复杂和超分子流体的相行为和相平衡领域对广泛的工业、技术和生物医学领域至关重要，包括洗涤剂、润湿、油漆和化妆品技术、提高油采收率、生物聚合物分离、胆固醇代谢和白内障疾病。这个快速发展的领域为物理、化学、工程和生物医学等多种科学学科的概念和计算方法的综合提供了一个新的、令人兴奋的舞台。
