Dr M. A. Whitehead, Emeritus Professor, Chemistry, McGill. A demonstration of the usefulness of theory in identifying challenging and exciting experimental projects, such as self-assembled thin films, their crystallization and conductivity, nano-tube formation from photoresponsive dimers, the association of biocompatible polymers into nano-tubes, and the interaction of polymers with co-factors in the pulp and paper industry.
