Quantifying and controlling dynamics through interactions and concentration

We will study effect of system characteristics interactions concentration on structure and single particle Brownian dynamics i Single rod dynamics in highly ordered phases ii Effect of nearby phase transitions on the collective dynamics Novel theoretical models will be applied using a grand canonical description mimicking the experiments in WP 11 and 21 Experiments on cellulose and thermoresponsive rods to approach phase transitions will provide validation of the modelling using highspeed cameras to capture so far inaccessible relevant times scales
