We are interested in developing new methodologies for the controlled synthesis, fabrication and characterization of materials with specific and unique functionalities, which could revolutionize the next generation’s computers, communication networks and biomedical devices. We will integrate methods for the synthesis, patterning and engineering of polymer-based materials with new synthetic strategies inspired by biological assembly.
Special focus:
- Synthesis and morphology study of functional block copolymer assemblies in solutions, and their applications for drug delivery
- Self-organization at surfaces and interfaces between block copolymers and inorganics
- Light-induced reactions at polymer surfaces and interfaces
- Surface patterning and functionalization using polymer brushes
- Dynamically tuning of microfluidics on both planar and nanostructued surface for adaptive photonic devices and sensors
- Nano/micropatterning of periodic 2D/3D polymeric structures
- Directed crystal growth on SAMs/polymer templates with additives
