Welcome to the Highly Advanced Roll-to-Roll iManufacturing Systems (HARRiS) Group
The Highly Advanced Roll-to-Roll iManufacturing Systems (HARRiS) Group conducts fundamental studies related to the production of polymer thin film. Our mission is to elucidate the science of scaling thin films from solution, based on conventional and advanced manufacturing techniques. Our work is centered on the flow behavior of fluids and the scaled manufacture of polymer thin films. This work can be applied to a plethora of areas, including polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), electrochemical capacitors, electrolysis cells, electrodialysis process, flexible electronics, and desalination systems. In this research program, we synergistically integrate material processing, fluid transport, and design to:
- Understand the influence of wetting phenomena on the initiation and propagation of defects in polymer thin films (< 250 μm) during manufacture,
- Investigate fluid flow and transport phenomena related to the direct coating of porous media, and
- Implement new manufacturing processes and system designs for scalable manufacturing.
We welcome your to our site and welcome future interactions!
