We carry out research in the synthesis and characterization of novel polymers. Specific areas of focus are:

• Synthesis of new high performance polymers and thermosets
  
• Polymerization reactions
• Quantitative structure-property relationships
• Use of natural products in coatings systems
  
• New crosslinking chemistry, kinetics
  
• Combinatorial and High Throughput Materials Science
  
• Radiation curable polymers
• Incorporation of nanoparticles into polymers
