This breakthrough nanofabrication method, more details can be found at our most recent Nature Materials paper, has proven capable of developing a spectrum of colloidal polymer particulates with controllable morphologies from spherical particles and fibers to dendritic microparticles and sheet-like particles. This research will add to our knowledge on the general trends correlating process parameters to precipitated polymer morphologies by exploring the quantitative relationships between the parameters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/SI-figure-smaller-1200x594.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1581\" width=\"607\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/SI-figure-smaller-1200x594.png 1200w, https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/SI-figure-smaller-600x297.png 600w, https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/SI-figure-smaller-768x380.png 768w, https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/SI-figure-smaller.png 2009w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Simultaneously, I will\ninvestigate the application of soft dendritic microparticles, or\ndendricolloids, as an environmentally-benign micro-cleaner for microplastic and\noil removal from water. Their large excluded volume and structure-building and\ngel-forming capabilities suggest great potential for efficient microplastic and\nparticulate capture. Initially, latex beads will be used as model microplastics\nbefore testing on environmental samples. The role of polymer surface charge and\ncharge density in particulate adhesion will be examined, and the extent to which\nthe hierarchical morphology significantly influences the capture efficiency\nwill be analyzed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/dpp3_1200x1200-800x800.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1582\" width=\"226\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/dpp3_1200x1200-800x800.png 800w, https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/dpp3_1200x1200-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/dpp3_1200x1200-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/dpp3_1200x1200-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/dpp3_1200x1200-350x350.png 350w, https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/dpp3_1200x1200-45x45.png 45w, https:\/\/cbe.ncsu.edu\/velevgroup\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/dpp3_1200x1200.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n allow=&#8221;autoplay; encrypted-media&#8221; \n\n\n\n<p><strong>Publications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s41563-019-0508-z\">Roh, S.; Williams, A.
