Bates Group Research Interests and Publications

We have published papers on a variety of polymer classes and synthesis methods including the use of hydrogels in drug delivery and sensor applications. Additionally, we have investigated sustainable alternative materials in hygeine applications. The group is actively working on papers in a variety of fields that we cannot wait to share with you soon!
