Researchers Identify Factors that Govern Final Morphology of Self-Assembling Chiral Filament Bundles

For the first time, polymer scientists from the University of Massachusetts Amherst have discovered the factors that control the final size and shape of chiral filament bundles that self-assemble into different architectures. The research team, which included Greg Grason, Isaac Bruss and Douglas Hall, along with Justin Barone from Virginia Tech, reported the experimental results that support their novel model. The study has been reported in the current issue of the Nature Materials journal.
