About

In the Lei Zhu Group in the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering at Case School of Engineering, we focus on the structure-property-processing relationships of polymeric materials. Our research areas include:

  • Ferroelectric and dielectric functional polymers for electrical applications
  • Electroactive piezoelectric and electrostrictive polymers
  • Polymer nanocomposites and polymer brushes
