Explores the glassy state in polymers, the glass transition temperature, and factors impacting Tg, providing insights into polymer interactions and Tg determination.
Explores the thermodynamics of polymer blends, phase diagrams, miscible blends, phase segregation, block copolymers, and applications in thermoplastic elastomers and nanotechnology.
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.
