Processing-morphology-property relationships in polymers, composites and nanocomposites

Plastic objects are a necessity in every aspect of modern life. These objects are produced by complex polymer processing and shaping operations. Our work involves the development of design tools and strategies to help engineers and operators improve existing processes and come up with new products. Towards that end, we develop computer software to simulate these processes and help us understand them better. We, then, verify and validate this understanding by using appropriate pilot-scale experiments.
