The Genzer group research interests include:
- material self-assembly and directed assembly,
- behavior of polymers at surfaces, interfaces, and in confined geometries.
|
While the core program of our research encompasses mostly various experimental approaches,
in our work we also utilize simple chemical synthesis routes and computer simulation/theory.
We collaborate closely with several chemists and theoreticians on the latter two activities.
Our current research activities in the group can be broadly divided into three main areas:
- Substrate pattern recognition by copolymers;
- Directed assembly of oligomers and polymers on elastomeric substrates;
- Molecular and macromolecular gradients on substrates.
