Dr. Fogg's research focuses on ways of increasing this control still further, by devising means of decorating a well-defined polymer chain with pendant molecular groups that allow interactive functions and by increasing the level of structural control to include both the microstructure of the polymer chain and overall polymer shape or architecture ... 1, record 1, English, - polymer%20chain

Les chaînes polymères sont faites de la répétition linéaire d’une séquence chimique particulière, le «monomère». L’aspect dans l’espace d’une très longue chaîne est celui d’un fil très enchevêtré. Une première approximation géométrique de cette courbe est le mouvement brownien : en effet, sur quelques séquences chimiques, les corrélations d’orientation entre monomères sont effacées et la chaîne polymère apparaît comme faite de pas indépendants. Dans la limite d’une grande chaîne, cette décorrélation donne un mouvement brownien qui se présente comme une courbe erratique avec de nombreux retours en arrière. 2, record 1, French, - cha%C3%AEne%20polym%C3%A9rique

Les travaux de Mme Fogg visent à accroître encore davantage notre capacité de définir la structure moléculaire des polymères, en trouvant des moyens de «décorer» une chaîne polymérique bien définie avec des groupes moléculaires pendentifs qui permettent des fonctions interactives et en augmentant le degré de contrôle structurel pour inclure la microstructure de la chaîne polymérique et la forme ou l'architecture générale des polymères [...] 3, record 1, French, - cha%C3%AEne%20polym%C3%A9rique

Nanochemistry is a new discipline concerned with the unique properties associated with assemblies of atoms or molecules on a scale between that of the individual building blocks and the bulk material. ... Nanochemistry is the use of synthetic chemistry to make nanoscale building blocks of desired shape, size, composition and surface structure, charge and functionality with an optional target to control self-assembly of these building blocks at various scale-lengths. Nanochemistry uses semi-conductors that only conduct electricity in specific conductions. As the semi-conductors are much smaller than normal conductors the product can be much smaller. 3, record 3, English, - nanochemistry

La nanochimie trouve sa légitimité dans la capacité que les chimistes ont acquise au cours des dernières décennies à synthétiser des structures présentant une complexité et une architecture inédite. [...] Les grands défis de la nanochimie concerneront donc les aspects suivants :-les nouvelles méthodes de synthèse dont certaines s’inspireront de méthodes en vigueur dans le vivant(méthodes biomimétiques). Ces méthodes permettront d’obtenir des structures inédites liant entre elles des atomes divers dont des métaux;-l'auto-assemblage et l'auto-organisation de nouvelles molécules conduisant à des structures de taille importante;-la conception de nano-matériaux aux propriétés physico-chimiques nouvelles ainsi qu'à la fonctionnalisation de ces nanomatériaux pour varier leurs actions. Les domaines d’applications sont par construction formidablement étendus mais on peut citer les catalyseurs, le nanomagnétisme, l'électronique moléculaire, voire l'optique [...] 2, record 3, French, - nanochimie
