The Gin research group at the University of Colorado, 91¸£ÀûÉç is applying organic synthesis and molecular design to the construction of functional, nanostructured materials. The two primary elements in our research program are:
- Functional Nanostructured Polymer Materials Based on Liquid Crystal Building Blocks:
Functional liquid crystal monomer design; nanostructured polymer networks via monomer self-assembly; physical organic chemisry and materials science of nanostructured systems - New Ionic Materials and Polyelectrolyte Architectures Based on Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs):
Design of RTILs with new functional properties; new ionic polymers and composites based on RTILs; new RTIL-based lyotropic and thermotropic LC systems; gas separation and transport studies on new RTIL-based materials
