Professor Gelbart is supported by a grant from the Theoretical                  and Computational Chemistry Program to perform theoretical                      studies directed at understanding the nature of amphiphiles.                    Amphiphiles are molecules which consist of a hydrophobic                        oil-soluble portion, and an ionic or polar water soluble                        portion.  Amphiphiles aggregate to form micelles, and they are                  also involved in lipid bilayers which comprise biological                       membranes.                                                                                                                                                      Professor Gelbart's research will focus on several of the                       fundamental features of amphiphiles including the bending                       elasticity of surfactant films, phase transitions between                       defect states of amphiphilic lamellae, and successive                           orientational orderings in adsorbed monolayers.  The                            self-assembly process which gives rise to the micellar unit                     will be studied in an effort to determine the way in which flow                 fields (viscous forces) affect the size of micelles.  When                      appropriate, Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations                     will be performed.
