Expertise

Dr. Jason Bara’s research group is focused on development of advanced polymer materials, processes for clean energy production, green chemical manufacture, 3‐D printing, big data, and scientific apps for iPhones and iPads.

Bara is a recognized leader in the design and synthesis of advanced polymers and composites based on ionic liquids.

Areas of Research

  • “Green” Chemistry
  • 3‐D Printing
  • Advanced Polymers and Materials
  • CO2 Capture Processes
  • Ionic Liquids
  • Polymers and Soft Materials Initiative

Bara’s group is also studying “green” solvents from glycerol and other renewable resources and developing straightforward methodologies for their mass production.
