Jennifer Lynch
Research Associate, AMIPP Center
Department of Ceramic and Materials Engineering, Rutgers University

Dr. Lynch received her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Rutgers University in 2002 in the area of time dependence of the mechanical properties of an immiscible polymer blend.

Dr. Lynch is interested in the processing, properties, and characterization of immiscible polymer blends. Her current research is focused on thermal, mechanical, and rheological properties of polymers and polymer blends without the use compatibilizers, and applicability of these systems in structural and functional applications.
