R. Pelton

This course is an in-depth analysis of an aspect of colloid and surface science of current interest. Topics from previous years include latex preparation and characterization, adhesion fundamentals, and hydrogels. Ideally, students should have taken at least one course in polymers as well as an interfacial engineering or interfaces course. Potential students with other backgrounds should consult the instructor. The learning experience will include analysis of recent papers, review lectures by the students and the development of a research proposal.
