Directory profile for Dr. Clifford L. Henderson

Henderson group research lies at the intersection of chemical engineering, chemistry, and materials science, where in many cases the general goals of our work are: (1) to understand the connections between chemical structure, material processing, and properties in advanced materials, (2) to develop materials and processes that allow for high definition patterning of materials and formation of nanostructured materials that enhance their function, and (3) to use these materials and processes to fabricate novel devices and structures for a variety of applications. Examples of current projects include the following:

• Design of new block copolymers and processes for the directed self assembly (DSA) and fabrication of nanostructures
• Modeling and simulation of block copolymer phase separation using advanced and novel molecular dynamics techniques
• Design of new photoresist materials and processes for sub-20nm patterning
• Studies of the physicochemical property behavior of polymer ultra-thin films
• Directed synthesis of graphene.
