IRG I: Specific, Reversible and Programmable Bonding in Supra- and Macromolecular Materials @ University of California at Santa Barbara
Research Fields: | Biomolecular / Biomimetic Materials |
IRG-1 establishes new synthesis-structure-property relationships for materials development based on non-covalent assembly. By utilizing both covalent and directed non-covalent interactions we aim to create new, extraordinarily responsive materials that will lie at the interface of biomaterials and synthetic macromolecules. These multi-functional systems show great promise in areas as diverse as novel catalysts and materials for tissue engineering.
