Material Measurement Laboratory /Materials Science and Engineering Division

Functional Polymers Group

The Functional Polymers Group develops measurement methods, data, standards, and science for the functional properties (e.g., electronic, ion transport) of polymeric materials within functional devices and applications in forms that include thin films, interfaces, nanostructures, and membranes. We provide expertise in polymer phase behavior, molecular order formation, thin film mechanics, adhesion, in-situ processing measurements, nanofabrication
