Polymers | Nanomaterials

The department has a long history of research in the area of polymers and nanomaterials.

Current focus is largely in the following areas:

1. Biomaterials and biological arena (Cooper, Kimmel, Lee, Swindle-Reilly, Winter);

2. Polymer membranes and nanoporous materials (Ho);

3. Polymer theory/simulation (Hall);

4. Liquid crystals and liquid crystalline polymers (Wang); 

5. Block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly (Watkins);

6. Polymer electrolytes and polymer dynamics at interfaces (Sangoro).
