Research Interests:
|
Research in the Deming group is
focused on synthesis, processing, characterization and evaluation of
biological and biomimetic materials based on polypeptides. These
materials are being studied since they can be prepared from renewable
resources, they can be biocompatible and biodegradable, and possess
unique self-assembling properties. We utilize innovative chemistry
techniques to synthesize materials with properties that rival the
complexity found in biological systems. The polymers are then processed
into ordered assemblies, which are characterized for both nanoscale
structure as well as biological function. This interdisciplinary
approach stimulates innovations and ideas which direct this research
into new, exciting areas.
