Welcome to the Complex Functional Materials Group at Colorado School of Mines! We are interested in multiple-component materials that are cooperatively integrated and manifest unique functions. The central theme of our research is to study the interactions between “soft” molecular assemblies and “hard” engineered surfaces at different length scales, which have direct impacts on human health and environmental safety issues, bio-inspired diagnostic and sensing, renewable energy conversion and storage, as well as many other disciplines. Our group members perform research in the fields of polymers, nanomaterials, biomaterials, protein engineering, and organic/inorganic self-assembly. Read More…
