IRG2: Responsive Films and Film Formation @ University of Southern Mississippi
Research Fields: | Coatings / Ceramics |
This IRG deals with the fundamental aspects and molecular level processes leading to film formation as well as chemico-physical and environmental conditions responsible for the formation of stimuli-responsive “smart” polymeric films and coatings. Another significant component is the development of novel spectroscopic, morphological, and rheological characterization techniques that will enable better understanding of stimuli-responsive polymeric coatings.
