Professor Adi Eisenberg is recognized for his outstanding contributions to polymer science. His fundamental studies on the structure-morphology-property relationships in random ionomers have led to a new unified model which, for the first time, elucidated the relationship between the architecture of the ionomer, including such factors as the nature of the pendant ion, the counter-ion, the ion concentration, and others parameters with the morphology and physical properties of the materials. More recently, Professor Eisenberg has made seminal discoveries in the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers to two and three dimensional micelles in a controlled manner to a range of morphologies including spheres, rods, tubules, hollow spheres and many others. This has led to an explosion of research in the field internationally since potential applications of his discovery range all the way from nano-electronics to drug delivery.
