Functional electrospun fibers for responsive coatings and sacrificial templates
… in composites, and barrier effectiveness of coatings. Self-healing materials have the ability to repair or prevent further damage autonomously, where and when it occurs. Autonomous repair can increase the lifetime of materials, thereby reducing the economic and environmental impact of …

Biologically inspired materials for electro-responsive coatings and the photo-oxidation of water
… to a voltage bias. Inspired by the electro-responsive activity of ion channels, the interactions between peptides, surfaces and electric fields was investigated. The peptide sequences that exhibited significant adhesion to metal oxides were dominated by positively charged residues. A high …

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Polymers for Functional and Stimuli Responsive Silicon Surfaces
… techniques to achieve functional and stimuli responsive coatings on silica surfaces are described. Since microscopic features on a surface influence the overall wetting properties of the surface, a systematic investigation of the influence of polymer architecture on the microscopic …

Strategies for incorporating functional block copolymers into polyelectrolyte multilayer coatings
This thesis explores the creation of thin film responsive hydrogel coatings via Layer-by Layer assembly (LbL) of temperature (T) responsive block copolymer - polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs). First, the LbL conditions that allow for temperature driven, large, reversible swelling transitions of …
