Research Interests |
Our
laboratory has a track record of providing undergraduates with an
environment conducive to the development of their scientific interest,
combining independent work with the support of postdoctoral fellows and
doctoral students. Two areas are open to beginning students:
organic nanostructures and inorganic-organic nanomagnet hybrids.
The organic nanostructures area includes unimolecular micelles and
multiblock copolymers with well-defined macromolecular
architectures. In this project, students learn to conduct ionic
and “living-free radical” copolymerizations for the preparation of
nanosystems with well-controlled dimensions as well as targeted
topology.
The inorganic-organic nanomagnet hybrids area involves studies of
magnetic nanoparticles (5 to 20 nm) coated with organic monolayers.
Paramagneitc and superprarmagnetic properties are examined using
state-of-the-art instrumentation including Fourier–transform electron
spin resonance spectroscopy.
