Research Interests:
Bioinspired and biomimetic structures, supramolecular polymer science, self
organization, polymers for biomedical science, well defined macromolecular
architectures, functional materials, polymers from renewable resources, boron
containing polymers, flame retardant polymers, antimicrobial polymers
Macromolecular research in
this century will be defined by discoveries at the interface of chemistry,
biology, and materials science. Eren Research Group focus on problems at this
interface using both hypothesis and discovery driven science. A common theme of
all projects is the use of modern synthetic organic chemistry to build
macromolecules which are functional group rich and to study their properties
using various physical methods. In one major interest is to create biomimetics
with structure and function rivaling proteins. Success in this area will be
extremely important and already includes membrane active biomimetics for
antimicrobials with designs for many other important targets underway. Eren
Group strive for establishing an interdisciplinary collaboration among biology,
medicinal science, chemical engineering to investigate material properties and
invent novel architectures.
