ACTIVE RESEARCH
Dispersion of nanometer-scale particle systems
Investigate the use of secondary species to control the cohesivity and dispersion behavior for particle assemblies with the aim of developing responsive binders for fine particle clusters. |
 |
Mixing quantification
Investigate the use of Shannon entropies and multifractal dimensions for mixing characterization.
Microfluidics
Explore the use of fractal surface patterns for enhanced mixing in microfluidic devices.
POTENTIAL IMPACT
This research will enable a degree of control over particle processing behavior that cannot be achieved using conventional additives and processing aids. Development of efficient, responsive polymers may facilitate the fabrication of advanced composite structures with nanometer-scale morphology.
