Polymer Thin Film & Analysis Laboratory
Du Yeol Ryu research group
Research Interests
Self-assembled nanostructures (including quasicrystals) by block copolymer
Interface engineering : Interaction between polymer film and adjacent surfaces
Hardcore polymer physics : glass transition, order-disorder transition, and dewetting
Organic-inorganic hybrid with 3-dimensional gyroid and its application to optics
Analysis with precision by small-angle scattering (X-ray or neutron)
Current Researches
Block copolymer (BCP)
Fundamental issues on BCP self-assembly in both bulk and thin film states.
Understanding the core properties leads to a firmer foundation for practical applications.
