Professor Moore's current research interests include: nanoscale characterization of ion-containing polymers; thermo-reversible gel; functionalization of semi-crystalline polymers in the gel state; morphological and physical property modifications of semicrystalline ionomers; control of morphology-transport property relationships in PEM fuel cell systems via tailored processing procedures and controlled molecular/supramolecular architecture; characterization and control of actuation behavior in nanostructured ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) artificial muscles; small-angle x-ray and neutron scattering methods for the characterization of morphology and dynamics in nanostructured materials; and polymer-based nanocomposites for improved chemical and physical properties; twin-screw extrusion of compatibilized polymer blends; reactive extrusion.
