Green, David L.
Read MoreAssociate Professor
Our research group focuses on the synthesis of well-defined nanoparticles, their dispersion into polymer solutions and melts, and their suspension rheology.
First, we study the mechanisms that produce well-defined nanoparticles and then use this knowledge to optimize for a range of...
