Innovative synthetic chemistry for energy-relevant materials.
Structure determines function.
Strategic synthesis is a powerful tool for the construction of complex functional chemical architectures. We design and synthesize novel molecular building blocks to construct exciting new polymeric materials.
Research in the Klausen Group focuses on the synthesis of new molecular and macromolecular architectures, as well as new synthetic solutions to materials otherwise inaccessible from traditional feedstocks. Recent results from both programs are highlighted below.
