The macroscopic properties of surfactant-oil water emulsion, polymer            solutions and gels, biological membranes and other structured fluids            depend intimately on their often unique microstructure. Freeze-fracture         replication transmission electron microscopy (FFRTEM) provides the most         detailed and direct view of the three-dimensional spatial organization          in any liquid system.  For example, FFRTEM provides otherwise-                  unavailable information on the network structure aqueous polymer gels,          making it possible to relate changes in network structure to chemical           and mechanical treatments.  This project will examine phase changes and         critical fluctuations in aqueous polyacrylamide gels; such fluctuations         have never before been visualized.  The rod-coil transition of                  conducting polymers and the gel formation that results from this                transition will also be examined with FFRTEM.  A second area of                 interest is surfactant microstructure in solution.  FFRTEM has provided         the only view of micelles in concentrated surfactant-water mixtures and         is the best probe for visualizing biological and synthetic bilayers.
