Interfacial Physics and Chemistry Laboratory (IPCL) focuses on fundamental understanding of physics and chemistry at interfaces/surfaces ranging from bio-surfaces (i.e., lipid membranes, protein films), polymeric surfaces, and inorganic surfaces (i.e., metals). We aim to use our knowledge to develop high performance materials for various purposes.
