The Rowan Group focuses on studying the chemistry of non-covalent interactions (supramolecular chemistry). This is embodied by studying the synthesis of metallosupramolecular and stimuli-resonsive polymers; isolation and utilization of cellulose nanocrystals in biomimetic and porous systems; and finally, reversible covalent chemistry.
Current research
- Cellulose Nanocrystal Based Materials
- Interlocked Macromolecules
- Covalent Structually Dynamic Polymers
- Polymeric Materials for Energy Storage
- Polymeric Materials for Water Based Separations
- Polymeric Materials for Biomedical Applications
