Bio

The Genzer group research interests include: (1) materials self-assembly and directed assembly, and (2) the behavior of polymers at surfaces, interfaces and in confined geometries. While the core program of our research encompasses mostly various experimental approaches, in our work we also utilize simple chemical synthesis routes and computer simulation/theory. Our current research activities in the group can be broadly divided into three main areas:

  • Pattern Recognition by Copolymers
  • Directed Assembly of Oligomers and Polymers on Elastomeric Substrates
  • Molecular Gradients on Substrates
