Self-Assembly in Block Copolymer Liquids: Structure and Dynamics

Professor Lodge's research interests center on the structure and dynamics of multicomponent polymer systems, especially block copolymers. The emphasis is on experimental approaches, with radiation scattering (light, neutron and x-ray), rheology, and tracer diffusion techniques the primary tools. Synthesis of polymer materials and theoretical modeling also play important roles.

Professor Lodge has been at the University of Minnesota since 1982, and holds joint appointments in the Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering & Materials Science. He has received the Gordon Taylor Distinguished Research Award from the Institute of Technology and the Arthur K. Doolittle Award from the Polymeric Materials Science & Engineering Division of the American Chemical Society. Since January 2001 he has been serving as Editor of Macromolecules.
