On December 24, 2007, Prof. Melik Demirel, Pearce Assistant Professor, spoke about Structured Polymer Brushes at Sabanci University in Istanbul Turkey during a Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences seminar.

The presentation included information concerning the structured polymer films which are conformal to any surface and suitable for industrial applications. The method is a bottom-up process based on oblique angle deposition. This approach allows Prof. Demirel’s group to tune the chemical properties of the resulting films, such as hydrophobicity, porosity, electrochemistry, chemical reactivity, surface energy and crystallinity.
