3.963[J] Biomaterials Science and Engineering

()
(Same subject as 20.463[J])
(Subject meets with 3.055[J], 20.363[J])
Prereq: 20.110 or permission of instructor
Units: 3-0-9
Lecture: MW1-2.30 (4-163)

Covers, at a molecular scale, the analysis and design of materials used in contact with biological systems, and biomimetic strategies aimed at creating new materials based on principles found in biology. Topics include molecular interaction between bio- and synthetic molecules and surfaces; design, synthesis, and processing approaches for materials that control cell functions; and application of materials science to problems in tissue engineering, drug delivery, vaccines, and cell-guiding surfaces. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.

12.843 Large-scale Atmosphere and Ocean Dynamics

()
Prereq: 12.801, 12.810, or permission of instructor
Units: 2-4-9
Lecture: MW1-2.30 (54-1623) Lab: F1-2.30 (54-1623)

Project-based with lectures covering the relevant theory. Students work in groups on four projects. Each of these comprises a numerical part, to illuminate and illustrate the theory, and a data part (drawn from laboratory tank experiments, atmospheric, or ocean observations), to illustrate the phenomena. Topics include: barotropic vorticity dynamics including inversion and evolution, geostrophic and higher order balance, baroclinic dynamics and the evolution of balanced flows, and stability with emphasis on the mutual interaction of disturbances. Projects include a verbal presentation and writeup covering both the numerical and geophysical parts plus additional derivations as needed.

3.942 Polymer Physics

()
(Subject meets with 3.063, 10.568)
Prereq: 3.013 or permission of instructor
Units: 3-0-9
Lecture: TR11-12.30 (4-145)

The mechanical, optical, electrical, and transport properties of polymers and other types of "soft matter" are presented with respect to the underlying physics and physical chemistry of polymers and colloids in solution, and solid states. Topics include how enthalpy and entropy determine conformation, molecular dimensions and packing of polymer chains and colloids and supramolecular materials. Examination of the structure of glassy, crystalline, and rubbery elastic states of polymers; thermodynamics of solutions, blends, crystallization; liquid crystallinity, microphase separation, and self-assembled organic-inorganic nanocomposites. Case studies of relationships between structure and function in technologically important polymeric systems. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.
