Theresa Reineke 1) the development of novel carbohydrate-based polymers and dendrimers for
the cellular delivery of RNA and DNA for research and therapeutic applications, 2) the design of
glycopolymer and targeted contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging and disease diagnosis,
and 3) “theranostic” agents that combine the ability to perform therapeutic delivery and
diagnostic imaging. http://www.reinekegroup.org/ treineke@umn.edu
Marc A Hillmyer design, synthesis, and applications of multifunctional polymeric materials. While
emphasis is placed on new synthetic methodologies, we also focus on morphology and property
control and work to identify detailed structure/property relationships in a broad range of
macromolecular materials. Our current interests are in polymers from renewable resources, in
block copolymer self-assembly, and in the preparation of nanostructured materials with
particular emphasis on nanoporous polymers for applications in separations, templating, and
catalysis. Environmental themes in the group include conversion of sunlight into electricity, water
purification, and sustainable polymers.

Timothy P Lodge We are interested in multicomponent polymer systems, such as block
copolymers, which can undergo self-assembly to form interesting nanostructures in both solution
and bulk. Our program involves (i) synthesis of model polymers, (ii) characterization of their
molecular features, (iii) assessment of the material structure by scattering and microscopy, and
(iv) exploring dynamic processes such as diffusion and the kinetics of structural re-arrangement.

Willam B Tolman The current goal of our research in the polymerization catalysis area (in
collaboration with Profs. Hillmyer and Hoye) is to develop and understand the mechanisms of
processes for the controlled synthesis of polylactide, a biodegradable polymer, related polyesters,
and
other
polymers
and
copolymers
derived
from
natural
resources.

T. Andrew Taton We build multicomponent nanomaterials by self-assembly of organic and
inorganic nano-parts, and then look to apply these assembled nanoparticles to problems in
biotechnology and materials science. One potential application we are exploring is protein and
DNA tagging, where the nanoparticle acts as a support and an optical tag for the biomolecule.
Another interest is using nanorods to direct anisotropic materials--materials that exhibit different
properties in different directions. http://www.chem.umn.edu/groups/taton taton@umn.edu
