Statistical Thermodynamics of Complex Liquids OpenCourseWare: A Free MIT Graduate Study Course
The Nuclear Science and Engineering, Physics and Chemical Engineering Departments at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) offer a course titled 'Statistical Thermodynamics of Complex Liquids'. The graduate-level class looks at the self-assembly theory in micellar (surfactant-water) and micro-emulsion (surfactant-water-oil) systems along with scattering techniques and the scattering of neutron, x-ray and light as applied to the examination of the dynamics and structure of complex liquids.

Statistical Thermodynamics of Complex Liquids: Course Description
'Statistical Thermodynamics of Complex Liquids' OpenCourseWare considers major topics, such as neutron scattering at a small angle, x-ray and light scattering (dynamics and static), liquids static structure, Ornstein-Zernike equation, liquid theories and biocontinuous structures scattering. Sphere systems (hard and sticky hard), Coulomb liquids and ion condensation are also addressed. Professor Sow-Hsin Chen taught the original 'Statistical Thermodynamics of Complex Liquids' course in a lecture format. Professor Chen is also the author of one of the recommended texts. The Nuclear Science and Engineering (NS&E) Department offered the course, but it can also meet requirements for graduate degrees in the Physics and Chemical Engineering Departments at MIT.
The online package for this course includes a reading list and a calendar of lecture topics; two quizzes and three problem sets are also included for download. If this course interests you, visit the complex liquids statistical thermodynamics course page.
