Tissue engineering scaffolds, fuel cell catalyst supports, polymer / layered silicate nanocomposites with improved mechanical, thermal, and / or barrier properties, organic sol-gel chemistry, and new polymer and hybrid synthesis.
Dr. Daniel F. Schmidt is interested in the production of porous polymers and polymer derived materials with hierarchical pores structures, as well as the preparation of polymer nanocomposites and the elucidation of structure / properties relations and the synthesis of novel linear and network polymers and polymer hybrids. Teaching interests include polymer science, polymer synthesis and network formation, as well as materials analysis and polymeric nanomaterials.
