Welcome to the Controlled Release and Delivery ( CRD ) lab home page. Our research interests are in design, synthesis, and applications of “smart” programmable nanomaterials with emphasis on the controlled release  aspects of the systems. These engineered materials are utilized for medical (drug delivery), industrial (nanocomposites) and environmental (membranes synthesis) applications. What makes these nanomaterials so different and so intriguing is their extremely small feature size of the same scale as the critical size for physical phenomena. Fundamental electronic, magnetic, optical, chemical, and biological processes are also different at this level. The CRD Lab focuses on designing innovative nanomaterials that serve the ultimate goal of advancing technology. We hope you enjoy your visit.
