Polymer Chemistry
Research in the area of Polymer Chemistry at UT comprises a broad
spectrum of activities ranging from the synthesis of novel polymer
structures to the study of their physics and properties. Specific areas
of interest include anionic polymerization; thermodynamics and properties
of polymer solutions, blends, and nanocomposites; synthesis of linear
and branched polymers and copolymers of controlled structure; polymer
brushes; modification of polymer interfaces; Monte Carlo simulations;
and the solid state of linear macromolecules. Extensive use is made
of the neutron scattering and other facilities at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory.
