Long Citation
Eugenia Kumacheva is known for her contributions in the field of complex fluids, polymer science and materials chemistry. She is known for her discoveries of phase transitions in simple liquids confined to molecularly thin layers and entropically-driven lubrication in polymer brushes. She investigated convection in phase separating polymer liquids. She proposed new strategies for the self-assembly in complex fluids and new concepts of materials for high-density optical data storage and security documents. She proposed new approaches to hybrid polymer-inorganic materials and developed continuous microfluidic reactors for polymer synthesis. Eugenia Kumacheva has 8 patents (plus 5 applications filed), 115 publications and 99 invited lectures. Her former students and postdoctoral fellows have positions in academia and industry. Her work was highlighted in numerous public reports.
