The applicant's research program, in general, involves elucidating the relationship between molecular structure and material property by using molecular orbital theory to obtain interaction potentials, and statistical mechanical/molecular dynamics simulations to describe larger scale interactions of molecular assemblies. The results will be applied to polymer/metal adhesion, selective separations mediated by complexation, sorption and transport in zeolites and alkane activation on transition metal surfaces.
