Victoria Albright’s paper entitled “Micelle-coated, Hierarchically Structured Nanofibers with Dual-release Capability for Accelerated Wound Healing and Infection Control” (doi: 10.1002/adhm.201800132) published in Advanced Healthcare Materials has been highlighted on the Advanced Science News website.
Graduate student Hanna Hlushko recently presented her work at the 2018 NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) International Conference in Phoenix, Arizona from April 15th to 19th. Her poster entitled “Antioxidant Copolymers for Corrosion Protection of Aluminum Alloys” was a hit among both industrial and academic experts. During the conference, Hanna volunteered at Mini-camp CORROSION: Opportunities Realized for local high school students.
Department of Materials Science and Engineering has published a short article about Prof. Sukhishvili and Victor Selin recently published papers about fundamental studies of the non-linear growth of polyelectrolyte multilayers.
