Welcome to the Braslau Research Group Web Site! The Braslau Research Group is focused on two areas: the development of new synthetic methodologies using free radicals, and the use of controlled "living" radical polymerization for the preparation of highly designed new materials for applications in the field of nanotechnology. In the development of new methodologies, studies focus on topics ranging from acyl radicals to sulfonyl radicals to nitroxides. Polymerization work focuses on nitroxide-mediated living polymerization, which prepares well-defined polymers from olefin and diene monomers bearing a wide range of functionality. We are currently focusing on the preparation of membrane mimics for a collaborative project on single molecule detection using Nanopore Technology developed by Dr. Mark Akeson and Professor Dave Deamer here at U.C.S.C.
