Synthesis and supramolecular assembly of biomimetic polymers
… chemistry is the synthesis of macromolecules and polymers with precise shapes and architectures. Polymer microstructure and architecture strongly affect the resulting functionality of advanced materials, yet understanding the static and dynamic properties of these complex macromolecules in bulk …

A Bio-Inspired Self-Healing Polymer System for Sustainable Plastics
… biological self-healing motif into synthetic biomimetic polymers. These types of polymers will be used to develop components with greater fatigue life and toughness, promoting greater resource sustainability by reducing plastic consumption. The amino acid 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) …

ENHANCING THE BONDING OF SYNTHETIC POLYMERS MIMICKING MARINE BIOADHESIVES
… In order to enhance adhesive bonding of these biomimetic polymers even further, we are carrying out systematic studies on the influences provided by polymer composition, molecular weight, and the presence of fillers, as well as other parameters. Recent work in our laboratory has revealed that …

The stability of phospholipid and biomimetic polymer vesicles
Biomimetic membranes are a novel alternative that may address issues inorganic scaling, biofouling, and membrane vulnerability to chemicals currently plaguing membranes. They mimic cell membranes and incorporate membrane proteins, such Aquaporin Z (AqpZ). PMOXA-PDMS-PMOXA (ABA) triblock co-polymers …
