Research InterestsExamination of the ten classes of polymer phase transitions and how they couple to each other. This includes both equilibrium and kinetic aspects. A study of their use as technology opportunities and in modeling biological self-assembly. The ten phase transitions are [1] Helix to random Coil, [2] Collapse transition, [3] Adsorption onto surface, [4] Polymer threading a membrane, [5] Equilibrium polymerization,[6] Polymer-polymer or polymer solvent transitions, [7] Crystallization, [8] Liquid crystals and plastic crystals, [9] Glasses and gels, [10] Soaps/block copolymers/membranes/micelle/vesicles.
