microscopy were carried out on physical properties and characteristics of polystyrene (PS), polybutadiene (PB) and PS/PB blend film using an atomic force microscopy (AFM).  AC imaging, static and dynamic force curve measurements were carried out on the samples. While static force curves revealed important physical properties of both PS and PB, dynamic force curves were found to be more effective in characterizing the different domains in the polymer blend. 4:00 pm - Characterization of Hydrogen/Deuterium

financial help for students and outreach to the PLU community. Like Kim, who could not take out any loans due to his immigration status and had to work his way through school, financial means are of great concern for many undocumented students. The task force partnered with PLU librarians to create a library for all students who cannot afford textbook costs. “We recognize that access to course materials intersects with undocumented student identities a lot, but it also intersects with so many of our

polymers containing a five-carbon diether side chain. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers decreased with larger and more flexible side chains. Diblock copolymers gave two transition temperatures approximately equivalent to those of the corresponding homopolymers. The characteristics of thin film polymer samples on a silicate surface were also examined by Atomic Force Microscopy. 3:40 pm - Isolation and Characterization of DNA Polymerase Beta and DNA Polymerase Beta-PAK in Trypanosoma

at the Joint Institute of Neutron Science collaborating with Dr. Mark Dadmun of the University of Tennessee – Knoxville studying neutron scattering of polymer-based thermoelectrics and conducting polymers in solution. At PLU, my research group  studies a variety of topics in the polymer field including polymer dynamics, thin polymer films, compatibilization of polymer blends, and more recently organic photovoltaics (OPV). We utilize a variety of techniques including atomic force microscopy, light
