  • Nanoscience & Materials Chemistry: polymer nanostructures

  • Polymer Chemistry: polymer characterization

  • Experimental Physical Chemistry: polymer liquids

Research Description

We are interested in multicomponent polymer systems such as block copolymers, which can undergo self-assembly to form interesting nanostructures in both solution and bulk. Our program involves:

  1. synthesis of model polymers,

  2. characterization of their molecular features,

  3. assessment of the material structure by scattering and microscopy, and

  4. exploring dynamic processes such as diffusion and the kinetics of structural re-arrangement.
