Polyelectrolyte complexation is an entropically driven, associative phase separation that has been leveraged to produce aqueously processed plastics known as polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs). Previous...

Complex coacervates have emerged as versatile platforms for protein encapsulation, enabling enzymatic catalysis in aqueous environments. Despite their potential, applications of coacervates are limite...

This NSF project will benefit society by establishing a class of biology-inspired materials for use across chemical, agricultural, and industrial applications.

Chemical engineering major Yaozu Chen '25 creates microfluidics to determine the structure of proteins, a precursor to designing drugs to target certain proteins.
