COLL Technical Symposia Scheduled for the 261st ACS National Meeting Self-assembly in polymer systems Biomembrane Synthesis, Structure, Mechanics, and Dynamics Colloidal Nanoparticle Synthesis and Assembly Colloidal hybrid materials intended for biological applications Macromolecular Design of (bio) Energy Materials and Safety Evaluation Semiconductor Surfaces: from Chemistry and Function to Applications Industry-Academia Dialogue Nanomaterials Surface Chemistry Biomaterials and Biointerfaces Basic Research in Colloids, Surfactants and Interfaces ACS Award Lectures 2020 ACS Award Lectures 2021 ACS Award in Surface Chemistry 2020-Symposium in honor of Teri Odom ACS Award for Research at an Undergraduate Institution 2020-Symposium in honor of Kerry Karukstis ACS Award in Colloid Chemistry 2021-Symposium in honor of Emily Weiss ACS Award in Surface Chemistry 2021-Symposium in honor of Vicki Grassian Fundamental Research in Colloids, Surfaces and Nanomaterials Symposia Descriptions Self-assembly in polymer systems (Celebrating Macromolecular Chemistry: The Second Century) Organizers: Matthew Tirrell ([mtirrell@uchicago.edu](mtirrell@uchicago.edu)) Stephan Förster ([s.foerster@fz-juelich.de](s.foerster@fz-juelich.de)) Ramanathan Nagarajan ([Ramanathan.Nagarajan.Civ@mail.mil](Ramanathan.Nagarajan.Civ@mail.mil)) This symposium is organized to celebrate the ACS National meeting’s theme “Macromolecular Chemistry: The Second Century”. The symposium will include oral and poster presentations focusing on self-assembly involving a variety of polymer systems. Examples include amphiphilic block and graft copolymers, block polyelectrolytes, and polymer conjugates with other molecules such as lipids, DNA, or proteins, Self-assembly in solutions as well as at interfaces will be of interest. Experimental, computational and theoretical studies emphasizing fundamentals of selfassembly, characterization of self-assembled systems as well as applications will be considered Biomembrane Synthesis, Structure, Mechanics, and Dynamics Organizers: Subra Muralidharan ([subra.murali@ucdavis.edu](subra.murali@ucdavis.edu)) Marjorie Longo ([mllongo@ucdavis.edu](mllongo@ucdavis.edu)) Atul Parikh ([anparikh@ucdavis.edu](anparikh@ucdavis.edu)) Mu-Ping Nieh ([mu-ping.nieh@uconn.edu](mu-ping.nieh@uconn.edu)) John Katsaras ([katsarasj@ornl.gov](katsarasj@ornl.gov)) The dynamic structural and mechanical properties of cell membranes strongly regulate functions of proteins, lipids, and genes, signaling pathways, and disease onset and progression.
