Research Overview

Over the last four years, our research team has developed unique capabilities for synthesizing polymer nanocomposites containing custom-made, synthetic platelet materials. We have a broad array of characterization tools, including X-ray scattering, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, for characterizing material microstructure.

Brian Benicewicz, Ph.D., is the Research Leader of Polymer NanoComposites at the NanoCenter. He is also a Carolina Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of South Carolina.
