Bryan Boudouris Professor

In our laboratory, we determine how the control of macromolecular design affects the all-important nanoscale structure of these materials.

Research:

1. The design and utilization of functional radical polymers for enhanced carrier extraction at the metal/organic interfaces of OPV devices.
2. The design of novel polymers, polymer-based nanoparticles, and inorganic nanoparticles for thermoelectric devices and catalytic applications.
3. The fabrication of well-ordered, nanostructured organic non-volatile memory elements from block copolymer templates.
4. The synthesis and microstructural characterization of functional triblock terpolymers for enhanced biopharmaceutical separations.
5. The synthesis and microstructural characterization of mechanically-robust polymers from biorenewable feedstocks.
6. The fabrication of nanostructured conducting polymers for advanced threat detection and homeland security applications.
