Note: The MSL is not currently actively engaging in research.

We are creating sustainable soft materials. In one approach, we are designing new types of polymers and plastics to enable energy-efficient recycling. In another approach, we are inventing new classes of soft materials based on renewable resources. Our work combines fundamental polymer chemistry with materials science and engineering to create new solutions to global challenges.
