Interest Areas
My research group is interested in all things polymers! These versatile and ubiquotous materials are commonly known as resins, plastics, rubbers, adhesives, coatings, thermoplastics, and thermosets.
The global population uses over 1,000,000,000,000 pounds of these materials every year. Polymers played a major role in the industrial revolution and continue to be transformative in our daily lives. At the same time, they are made from finite resources and are quickly discarded, leading to alarming levels of waste and environmental leakage. How can we continue to enjoy the benefits of polymers while freeing ourselves of the drawbacks? Answers to these questions motivate our research directions.
Our projects innovate on how we make polymers, what we make them from, how we use them, how to make them more useful, and what to do with them at their end-of-life.
