Research Project:
“Magnetic Nanoparticle Catalysts for Green Polymerization”
Advisors:
Christopher W. Jones
Research Summary:
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) have received increasing attention as an alternative support for catalysts due to their ample surface area and easy recovery in the presence of an external magnetic field. Our goal is to get well dispersed, MNP-supported acid catalysts with high loading.
