Interdisciplinary Research Group II focuses on Responsive Films and Film
Formation. This IRG deals with the fundamental aspects and molecular level
processes leading to film formation as well as chemico-physical and
environmental conditions responsible for the formation of stimuli-responsive
"smart" polymeric films and coatings. Another significant component is the
development of novel spectroscopic, morphological, and rheological
characterization techniques that will enable better understanding of
stimuli-responsive polymeric coatings.
