Nanomaterials Team
Inspired by bio-macromolecules utilized in natural fabrication processes, the Nanomaterials or “ZIPer” team investigates the design rules of synthetic macromolecules for the dispersal, stabilization, and assembly of nanomaterials into the hierarchically structured nanocomposites.

Macromolecular condensates guide the fabrication of many biological materials resulting in a multiscale structure that dictates mechanical and functional properties. Such organization is encoded into relevant bio-macromolecules that engender their stimuli responsive assembly. This project aims to synthetically mimic these stimuli responsive sequences for the fabrication of multiscale nanocomposites
