RESEARCH INTERESTS Nanotechnology Coating and surface behavior Rheology and processing of polymer solutions and melts and suspensions Polymer Crystallization Self-assembly and solar cells Additive Manufacture (Fused Deposition Modelling or 3D printing) Research in Dr. Mackay’s group concerns materials processing and the structures developed from processing effects. Most of his research centers on processing polymers using fused filament fabrication (FFF), sometimes called fused deposition modeling(r) or 3D printing. Our goal is to develop new materials and processing technologies to make strong products with this new polymer processing technology.
