Group Mission Statement

Our group focuses on three interrelated areas:

  • Stimuli-Responsive Water-Soluble Polymers
  • Polymers with Controlled Biological Activity
  • Functional Biopolymers

Critical to our research are:

  • Synthetic tailoring of target model compounds, monomers, and polymers
  • Analytical elucidation of reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and polymer microstructure
  • Establishing relationships between physical macroscopic behavior and chemical structure
