General Research Interests
Organic, polymer, materials and medicinal chemistry -- organic
chemistry on the nanometer scale with macromolecules: from
catalysis and chiral recognition to targeted drug delivery.
Functional macromolecules and their applications: control
of molecular architecture at the nanometer scale; new polymerization
mechanisms: dendritic polymers and hybrid copolymers; organic-inorganic
nanocomposites; separation, molecular recognition, and reactive
surfaces; energy-related polymers and organic electronics;
polymers as enzyme mimics; polymers and dendrimers in therapeutics
MSD Research Projects:
Molecular Foundry: the Organic and Macromolecular Synthesis
Facility program
Biomolecular Materials
Self-assembly of Organic/Inorganic Nanocomposite Materials
Plastic Electronics
Characterization of Functional Nanomachines
