Carter Research Group
Professor of Polymer Science and Engineering
Our group is interested in the design and fabrication of advanced materials with highly tailored properties. We possess expertise in synthetic polymer chemistry, surface modification, advanced manufacturing techniques, high resolution roll-to-roll patterning and device fabrication & characterization and work to solve problems impacting a number of technology areas including electronics, optics, sensors, clean air & water, and chemical safety. We also seek to exploit renewable resources, such as nanocellulose, in these advanced materials applications.
