Robert Ferrier

简介

The research in my group leverages my background in polymer physics and polymer chemistry. We utilize state-of-the-art polymer synthesis techniques to create novel polymeric materials with targeted properties in an effort to solve real-world challenges. Current projects focus on polymer electrolytes for battery applications, polymeric membranes for clean water, and immune-active polymers to fight addiction.
