Dr. Kahn’s research interests focus on the rheology of structured polymeric systems, particularly the relationship between material microstructure, chemistry, and macroscopic properties. The use of rheology with other techniques provides a powerful and unique combination to understand and describe the macroscopic behavior of structured systems in terms of their underlying chemistry and/or microstructure. Dr. Kahn’s goals have been to use such an approach to obtain physical insights and new information on systems that are technologically or environmentally relevant.
