In the last few decades great strides have been made in chemistry
at the nanoscale, where the atomic granularity of matter and the
exact positions of individual atoms are key determinants of
structure and dynamics. Less attention, however, has been paid to
the mesoscale-it is at this scale, in the range extending from
large molecules (10 nm) through viruses to eukaryotic cells (10
microns), where interesting ensemble effects and the functionality
that is critical to macroscopic phenomenon begins to manifest
itself and cannot be described by laws on the scale of atoms and
molecules alone. To further explore how knowledge about mesoscale
phenomena can impact chemical research and development activities
and vice versa, the Chemical Sciences Roundtable of the National
Research Council convened a workshop on mesoscale chemistry in
November 2014. With a focus on the research on chemical phenomena
at the mesoscale, participants examined the opportunities that
utilizing those behaviors can have for developing new catalysts,
adding new functionality to materials, and increasing our
understanding of biological and interfacial systems. The workshop
also highlighted some of the challenges for analysis and
description of mesoscale structures. This report summarizes the
presentations and discussion of the workshop. Table of Contents
