• Thermodynamics and dynamics in blends of polymers
that differ in molecular architecture (e.g. star and linear chains)
• Properties of the surfaces of pressure sensitive adhesives
• Adsorption of proteins to well-defined surfaces
• Surface behavior of polymer brushes
General
research interests include:
• Structure and dynamics of polymer systems,
especially in thin films and near interfaces
• Novel X-ray and neutron reflection and grazing incidence scattering
• Scanning probe microscopies for surface characterization
