The UCSB Materials Department leads groundbreaking research in Macromolecular and Biomolecular Materials. These organic substances play a vital role in solving modern challenges across energy, environmental, and biomedical fields. Polymer thin films that self-assemble enable nanoscale patterning for cutting-edge electronics. Meanwhile, biological systems rely on DNA and protein configurations to shape cellular architecture and mechanical functions. Semiconducting polymers offer transformative potential for affordable printed electronics and photovoltaic technologies. Our researchers explore organic and biomolecular materials at various scales, tackling current obstacles while pioneering novel avenues in both theoretical and practical scientific exploration.
