The Soft Materials Group at Michigan State University

Welcome to the Dynamics and Mechanics of Multicomponent Soft Materials Group at Michigan State University!

Our research interests are the structure, dynamics, and mechanics of Multicomponent Soft materials, including polymer composites and polymer nanocomposites, polymer electrolytes, advanced polymer membranes. Specific topics are (i) Polymer structure and dynamics at the interface; (ii) The rheology and processing of polymer nanocomposites; (iii) Ion transport in polymer electrolytes for solid-state electrolyte development; (iv) Gas transport in polymers for carbon capture.
