Spotlight

​

With the decline of natural resources, sustainability is a must for all materials design and engineering activities, including polymeric packages. Our motive is to foster the greener and more responsible materials design and processing practices while introducing advanced functionalities to end products. We are interested in understanding the structure-process-property relationship for materials in polymers and bio-composite materials through fundamental approaches to modern physics.
