معرفی
Sergiy Minko is the Georgia Power Professor of Fiber and Polymer Science at the University of Georgia's College of Family and Consumer Sciences, specifically within the Department of Textiles, Merchandising and Interiors. His research focuses on nanostructured materials, responsive materials, biomaterials, biointerfaces, and functional fibers/textiles. He leads a lab innovating in biocompatible nanofiber scaffolds, smart polymer interfaces, and sustainable textile technologies.
Research Interests:
- Development of stimuli-responsive materials for biomedical applications
- Advanced polymer processing techniques (e.g., touchspinning, magnetospinning)
- Nanocellulose-based materials for environmental and biomedical uses
- Smart textiles integrating energy harvesting and sensing capabilities
Recent work emphasizes biomedical applications of nanomaterials (e.g., antioxidant PCL fibers, cell detachment strategies) and sustainable solutions like dye degradation using MOFs and eco-friendly dyeing methods. Over 150 peer-reviewed articles demonstrate his contributions to biomaterials, nanotechnology, and polymer science.
