Sustainable Materials

Welcome to Polymer& Organic Energy Materials Laboratory (POEM) at DGIST. We are actively involved in the development of sustainable polymer materials and recycling technologies. Our focus is on applying these advancements to organic energy and environmental materials, with the aim of making a positive impact on our planet. We conduct research that spans from fundamental studies on molecular engineering of functional organic materials to their practical application in energy, electronics, and environmental fields. We are particularly interested in understanding and controlling processes such as self-assembly, molecular interactions, and transport phenomena at interfaces. Through the use of molecular engineering techniques, we strive to optimize the properties and functionalities of interfaces found in energy, electronics, and environmental materials. Our goal is to contribute to the creation of customized materials that meet sustainability objectives and promote a greener future.
