Introduction
The Department of Coatings and Polymeric Materials offers graduate studies leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in polymers and coatings science. The departmental research bridges between basic and applied research in the field of polymers and coatings.
Students in this program have opportunities to conduct cross-disciplinary research. Advanced research work involves specialized training in the following areas:
- Colloidal and interfacial chemistry of polymers and coatings
- Polymer synthesis
- Adhesion
- Durability
- Spectroscopy
- Corrosion
- Electrochemistry
- Nanomaterials design and synthesis
- Computational modeling
- Life cycle assessment
- Rheology
During the fall semester, the faculty meet with the new students to acquaint them with the research programs in the department. Because students are required to team with a research adviser by the end of the first semester in residence, they are required to discuss research opportunities with all faculty members.
