Professor Sunghwan Lee Showcases Cutting-Edge CVD Polymer Technologies at KIAT‑CORIA G.R.I.D Webinar
On November 15, 2025, Professor Sunghwan Lee delivered a presentation titled "CVD Polymer Processing for Advanced Surface and Interface Engineering" as part of the KIAT‑CORIA G.R.I.D webinar series, drawing scientists, engineers, and industry professionals worldwide. His talk highlighted how chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is redefining polymer coatings for modern technology.
Professor Lee detailed how Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) allows vapor-phase monomers to form uniform, conformal polymer films directly on surfaces, including complex or delicate substrates, without solvents. This overcomes traditional coating challenges like dewetting and surface tension.
He also highlighted industrial and technological applications, from flexible electronics to 3D structures, and explored advances in next-generation battery electrodes, sensing devices, and health monitoring systems. His insights underscore CVD polymer processing as a versatile, high-precision approach, driving innovation in advanced materials, energy storage, and functional device engineering.
This seminar was co-organized by Professor Martin Byung-Guk Jun, Director of CORIA, and Hwan Il Yoo, Chief representative of KIAT U.S. office. The KIAT-CORIA Webinar series connects Purdue professors with Korean academics, industry researchers, and institutions to foster joint research and networking. The seminars provide a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and building partnerships to drive future technological innovation.
