Polymer chemistry at interfaces
Open to consulting or contracting related to my 25 years expertise in polymer chemistry. As an academic partner, I can consult individually or we can discuss funding undergraduate research opportunities. UW-Eau Claire has a wide range of instrumentation available for use to support collaborative projects. My expertise is in polymer synthesis, particularly controlled free radical polymerization (ATRP, ARGET ATRP, RAFT), controlling polymer architecture (block copolymers, linear and non-linear architectures), and polymer characterization. My current research is focused at interfaces: emulsions (oil-water interface), foams (air-water interface), and dispersions (particle-water interface) for applications ranging from dispersants of titanium dioxide for architectural coatings to biocompatible foams for injection during tumor ablation.
About University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire
The University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire is a public, master’s-level university in the Universities of Wisconsin system, noted for a strong faculty–undergraduate research culture. A formal collaboration with Mayo Clinic Health System creates an innovation hub for community health research and connects campus talent with clinicians. For product and process development, partners can access advanced shared instrumentation—particularly in materials characterization and analytical chemistry—and work through a single-entry Office of Corporate and Community Partnerships. Research is supported by competitive federal and state funding, including the National Science Foundation. Intellectual property and commercialization are handled through WiSys, the system’s designated technology transfer office.
