RESEARCH LINES

The Mod&Gels group studies a broad spectrum of topics in the general areas of polymer science, polymer modification, self-assembly, nanostructured materials and polymer gels. We like problems that require a combination of synthesis and physical measurements. Research topics are included  within the three main research programs of the lab
