Self-Assembly of Biopolymers : Royal Society of Chemistry : 9781849736930 : 1849736936 : 30 Jan 2014 : Self-Assembly of Biopolymers University of Bristol, United Kingdom 16-18 September 2013 FARADAY DISCUSSIONS Volume 166, 2013 Farady Discussion 166 This volume focuses on the physical chemistry of novel self-assembling bio-conjugate or bio-hybrid materials. Soft matter has emerged as a coherent subject within the last ten years, and is of increasing relevance to interdisciplinary research at the interface of physical chemistry, physics, materials science and biology. Recently several exciting new directions have been pursued in this area, including developments in understanding amyloid fibrillization, liposome and polymersome self-assembly, DNA superstructure formation, biopolymer hydrogel self-assembly and how to control this to develop tissue scaffolds, and the control of biopolymer self-assemblies for applications in biomedicine. This volume focuses on the self-assembly
