Research Summary

In general, our research focuses on the physical chemistry of heterogeneous materials, and how novel solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance methods may be used to interrogate these systems. In particular, there are two main areas of current research which include polymer science and heterogeneous catalysis in solid acids.

• Polymer Blends, Copolymers, and Composites
• Miscibility in Saturated Polyolefin Blends
• Composites from Polymers Intercalated in Mesoporous Materials
• Heterogeneous Catalysis in Solid Acids
