Research
Interests
macromolecular design and synthesis; directed assembly
using surface templates
block copolymers; asymmetric morphologies
liquid crystalline block copolymers for electro-mechanical
and electro-optical applications, and dendritic copolymers
as nano-encapsulants or hosts for drug and gene delivery
ISN research includes the investigation of high strength
polymer fibers that simulate the properties of spider silk,
actuating liquid crystalline polymers, and functional thin
film sensors for chemical and biological protection
