Summary - Coates Group Research Facility
Department
of Chemistry and Chemical Biology - Cornell University
February, 2006
The research focus of the Coates Group is the development
of new synthetic strategies for producing polymers of defined
structure. The control of polymer composition, architecture,
stereochemistry, and molecular weight allows the indirect control of
polymer properties via polymer morphology. Our research
projects are interdisciplinary, addressing problems at the interface of
organic, inorganic, organometallic, and polymer chemistry.
Described below is a selected compilation of research topics
that are being investigated in the group.
