Research Interests: Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics and Renewable
Resource Polymers
Professor Harrison's primary research interests are in the general areas of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, extensional flow, and renewable resource polymers. Experimental optical techniques are employed to investigate polymer solutions and melts in a wide range of flow geometries, including drop formation, spraying, and film casting. Rheological techniques are used to study the flow properties and degradation of novel polymer derived from renewable feedstocks. Ultimately, we seek to develop degradable materials with tailored mechanical and thermal properties.
