Development plasma, research opportunities

In the high-tech microelectronics area, many opportunities exist for developing new or improved polymers for dielectrics, plasma etch resistance barriers, lithographic resists, insulators/connectors, liquid crystal systems, etc, where, simultaneously, adhesion to various surfaces, water permeability, temperature stability and other properties must not be limiting. Polymers for biomedical, separations, and composites likewise, provide great opportunity for synthetic advances. There is no doubt in our mind, an enormous amount of innovation can continue to flow out of polymer synthesis research.
