Research Activities
Complex Glasses
Anhydrous sugar-based microemulsions and liquid-crystalline phases in the solid glass state.
Solid sugar nanostructures are robust templates, resisting rearrangement
during reactions, but are readily dissolved in water afterwards.

Liquid-Core Capsules
Encapsulation of sub-micron (<300 nm) oil or water drops through interfacial free-radical
alternating copolymerization of hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers - a
free-radical analogy of the nylon rope trick.
Cell - Biomaterial Interfaces
Dynamic switching of interfaces between cell-adhesive and cell-resistant
states to study cell motility and control the spatial assembly of
multiple cell types. |
