Dr. Foster's Research Interests

• Microstructure of polymer thin films and surfaces
• Protein adsorption at interfaces
• Langmuir-Blodgett deposited and self-assembled ultrathin films
• Bulk microstructure and phase behavior of block copolymers
• Interdiffusion at polymer interfaces
• X-ray, neutron and visible light scattering techniques for characterization including
SAXS, SANS, reflectometry, ellipsometry, and grazing incidence scattering
