The Advanced Functional Polymer lab, led by Professor Jinsang Kim, at the University of Michigan is contributing to advance the molecular design principles of polymers and macromolecules for last 20 years. Our general research interests are molecular design, synthesis, modification, and self-assembly of smart polymers for target application, especially biomedical and optoelectronic applications, including Plastic Electronics, Organic Light Emitting Molecules, Molecular Biosensors, Smart Gels, Optoelectronic Polymers, Conjugated Polymers, Block Copolymers, Organic-inorganic Hybrid Materials, Photovoltaic Cells, and Self-assembly. We have recently expanded our research interest to Mussel-inspired surface independent coating and sustainable polymer design.
