2024 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Active and Biological Systems II

This session will focus on soft, active systems in addition to biological systems that share similar fluid mechanics properties. opics of interest include, but are not limited to, the characterization of novel biomaterials, the dynamics of biomolecules, and activity in synthetic or biological self-propelled entities immersed in a viscous fluid.
