Welcome
to the home page
for the Guymon Research Laboratory of Polymers and Liquid crystals. Our
research focuses on photopolymerization, or UV curing, with specific
emphasis on the role that the polymerization reaction and the order of
the polymerization system play on the ultimate properties and structure
of the polymer.
Current
research projects
involve investigation of:
*
Lyotropic liquid crystals as templates for the creation of
biodegradable nanostructured material
*
Polymerizable surfactants as dispersing agents in polymer-clay
nanocomposites
*
Nanostructured materials based of polymerizable lyotropic liquid
crystals
