| A brief account of a few projects from the area of surface engineering using soft materials will be presented. These projects have one common theme: they all have been inspired by the work of my colleague, Ruben G. Carbonell. Specifically, in the first part of my presentation I will describe computer simulation work pertaining to the pattern recognition of synthetic polymers adsorbing onto physically flat but chemically heterogeneous substrates. The second part of my talk will deal with adsorption of proteins on engineered substrates. Here, I will demonstrate that substrate-bound assemblies of polymers with gradually-varying density and length provide a unique platform for systematic investigation of protein partitioning on man-made surfaces. |
