Our main research interests involve advanced polymeric materials, in
particular the use of supercritical fluids
as solvents for polymer synthesis and processing. Supercritical carbon
dioxide is an attractive solvent because it is inexpensive, non-toxic, and
non-flammable. We aim to use supercritical fluid solvents for the synthesis
of novel polymeric materials which would be difficult to obtain by more
conventional routes. We also have
projects in the areas of porous
materials, polymer synthesis, emulsions,
ionic liquids, nanoparticles, and high throughput
methodology. News:
