Education
B.S. Harvard University, 1975
Ph.D. University of Wisconsin, 1980
Nanoscience & Materials Chemistry: polymer nanostructures
Polymer Chemistry: polymer characterization
Experimental Physical Chemistry: polymer liquids
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:
- synthesis of model polymers,
- characterization of their molecular features,
- assessment of the material structure by scattering and microscopy, and
- exploring dynamic processes such as diffusion and the kinetics of structural re-arrangement.
