In a recent paper appeared in NPG Asia Materials, we teamed up with Sung Min Kang group at Chungbuk National University to investigate the sequence and composition effect of amphiphilic copolymer coating for marine antifouling.

"Patchwork Metal-Organic Frameworks by Radical-Mediated Heterografting of Star Polymers for Surface Modification" by Ahn et al. was published in Inorganic Chemistry.

“Surface Modification of Parylene C Film via Buchwald–Hartwig Amination for Organic Solvent-Compatible and Flexible Microfluidic Channel Bonding” by Chinnadurai Satheeshkumar, Bum-Joon Jung, Hansol Jang, Wonhee Lee and Myungeun Seo was published in Macromolecular Rapid Communications. This manuscript was submitted in response to the invitation to a special issue “Young Talents in Polymer Science” by Prof....

Nanoporous polymers have promising applications such as filtration, separation, storage, and catalysis. Block polymer self-assembly provides a powerful route to well-defined nanoporous polymers with extraordinary control over pore size, structure, and functionality. We are exploring synthesis of block polymer-based nanoporous polymers and control of transport through nanopores by size for energy and catalytic applications.
