01 / Consulting

Polymer structure determines how a material behaves: what it carries, how it interacts with a surface or solvent, and how it can be transformed.

Molecular design & synthesis

Monomers, architectures, and functional groups chosen for the properties and interactions you need.

Interfaces, formulation & delivery

Amphiphilic polymers, surface brushes, and packaging hydrophobic cargo for aqueous environments, including drug delivery.

Transformation & recycling

Using polymer chemistry to assess modification, degradation, and recycling routes for household and commodity plastics.
