Description:
|
This project will include work with different polymers which can form polyelectrolyte complexes. We will build polymer coatings using spin-coating and dip-coating methods to create thin polymer films on different substrates and test their physical and anticorrosion properties. The work will also include substrate preparation, and use of different techniques, such as ellipsometry, contact angle machine, benchtop AFM, UV-vis spectrophotometry, etc. This project mainly includes work in the lab. The location of the lab is in GERB building (West campus).
