Title
From polymer collapse to confined fluids: investigating the implications of interfacial structuring.
Abstract: A detailed understanding of the fluid behavior in confined systems and at interfaces will open up several avenues for new technologies and smart materials. In this talk I will present our work on advancing our knowledge of dynamics and thermodynamics at small scales and interfaces and relevance to potential applications in geology biology and emerging technology. Confined /interfacial systems are distinct from the bulk systems in two key ways. Firstly at least one dimension in the microscopic regime means mixing is diffusion limited (Reynolds number
