Research Interests

Dr. Grunlan’s research focuses on controlling the microstructure of high aspect ratio nanoparticles (e.g., carbon nanotubes) using stimuli-responsive polymers. His Polymer Nano Composites Lab is developing thick and thin film polymer nanocomposites for a variety of applications that include EMI shielding, gas permeation control and sensors.
