Functional Polymer Materials LaboratoryThe functional polymer materials laboratory is focused on several themes. 1.) photosensitive acrylates commonly used as photoresists, dental composite restoratives, cell immoblization substrates, and a number of other adhesive and coatings applications. 2.) dispersions has focused on how particle dynamics in solution, stratification phenomena, adsorption phenomena on particles in dispersions, and particle-particle interactions are affected when ensembles of particles are dispersed in solution. 3.) harnessing stem cells separated from voluntary tooth extractions for subsequent use as a bone forming tissue engineering strategy for multiple myeloma , (MM). The laboratory has functional photosensitive detection measurment tools including a photorheometer and a photo differential scanning calorimetry. Both units can be adapted for use in conventional measurements as well. We are soliciting support for an analytical centifuge and by the end of 2008, we should be fully equipped with adequate supplies to support these experiments. The rest of the laboratory is equipped for synthesis, processing, and design-build-test based projects. More details on developmental projects linked to these topics can be found by clicking on the links for the individual themes. |
