Research interests:
Jim’s overall research focus is the relationship between polymer and ion dynamics (as principally assessed from broadband dielectric spectroscopy) and polymer microphase-separated morphology. His work has had impact on the molecular level understanding of conductive ionomers (of interest for energy storage and actuation); more strongly segregated ionomers; microphase-separated polyureas (of interest for mitigation of shock impacted loading); and polyurethane multi-block copolymers (of interest as blood-contacting biomedical materials).
