Now that the experimentalists in nanotechnology and self-assembled systems are moving single atoms to form molecules, theory becomes even more fascinating. Quantum Theory not only explains in detail what is observed but more importaintly Quantum Theory can now describe new, original, fundamental experiments to be done which will give thoroughly reliable and accurately predicted results.Quantum Theory can insure Green Chemistry experiments and techniques to be energetically cheap and environmentally acceptable. It can predict and help design pharmacological molecules and predict chemical properties of molecules before they are synthesized. We use Molecular Mechanics and Quantum Chemical Modelling to understand and predict protein denaturing, chemical and physical properties of dendrimers, the formation of tin alkynyl surface absorbed photo switches and the self-assembly of alternating copolymer in nanostructures. In the pulp and paper industry, we have made use of Molecular Modelling to understand the chemistry behind their procedures and guide the industry towards improving their cost and environmental impact.
Researchers in any field should make use of Quantum Theory to give insight and guidance in their experimental research. A joint PhD in Experimental Research and Quantum Theory fits the Researcher for independent research in the 21st Century. Interested candidates should contact Prof. M.A. whitehead.
