Molecular Transport Junctions: Some Mysteries and Some (Partial) Answers. Mark Ratner Northwestern University Of the many aspects of electron transfer processes that are significant in the chemical sciences, current/voltage spectroscopy (a focus area of molecular electronics) is one of the newest and most active. The several regimes that can be accessed in single-molecule transport are not yet approachable by a given computational, or even conceptual, scheme.

Title: Ring-Opening Polymerization-Mediated Biopolymer Synthesis and Applications Jianjun Cheng Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois, USA Abstract: Polymeric nanoparticles are promising carriers for the delivery of chemotherapeutics for cancer therapy because they are able to carry large payload of therapeutic modality, extravasate leaky tumor vasculature, and mediate sustained drug release in tumor tissues.
