Abstract Crystalline polymers morphology: an overview The organization and structure of polymers is analyzed by various techniques. Global means, such as DSC, are ideal when dealing with e.g. phase transitions (crystallization, melting, glass transition, etc.). Some of these techniques (e.g. IR or NMR) do probe local features and sub-molecular dynamics. Analysis of the crystalline polymers…

Abstract Colloidal Engineering at the Nano, Micro, and Macro Scales: Materials that Can Move, Morph, Protect and Heal Our laboratory seeks to engineer colloidal building blocks (polymers, surfactants, and particles) into a variety of functional fluids and soft materials. Our work extends across the length scales. Many of our systems are ‘smart’, i.e., their properties…
