Chang Yeol Ryu Group at RPI, Virtual Polymer Laboratory

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Welcome to the Homepage of the Ryu Research Group at RPI

Our group is studying macromolecular separation and adsorption using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

We study polymer separation by HPLC and explore its unique applications for rigorous analysis and purification of polymers, block copolymers and functional oligomers. We also pursue a molecular level understanding of polymer/copolymer adsorption in confined geometries in order to gain insights on macromolecular interactions during HPLC. We are mainly interested in separating (co)polymers and oligomers that are synthetically very challenging to obtain as pure samples and/or can have technological implications in nanoscale self-assembly, electro-optical applications, and carbon nanotube fabrication.
