Explores the mechanisms of polymer synthesis, including radical chain polymerization and the synthesis of high molecular weight poly(lactic acid) for compostable materials and biomaterials.
Explores sequence control in polymers, focusing on biological polymer synthesis, monomer sequence distribution, and strategies to enhance control over synthetic polymer sequences.
Explores the thermodynamics of polymer blends, phase diagrams, miscible blends, phase segregation, block copolymers, and applications in thermoplastic elastomers and nanotechnology.
