  1. IRG-1 Craig J. Hawker, University of California-Santa Barbara, DMR 0520415 Multi-domain ordering of coacervate-core based hydrogels unraveled by SANS and solid-state DNP A novel category of hydrogel material has been developed (Hawker, Kramer) that form spontaneously in water through complexation of polyelectrolyte endblocks of PEG-based triblock polyelectrolytes—inspired by Waite’s mussel adhesion studies. SANS (Kramer) and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP)-enhanced NMR (Han) reveal that these complexes form dense, yet fluid, coacervate core domains with significant ordering.
