Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Polymer
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Copolymer

Frank S. Bates mainly focuses on Copolymer, Polymer chemistry, Phase, Chemical engineering and Polymer. The study incorporates disciplines such as Polymerization, Phase diagram, Crystallography, Micelle and Epoxy in addition to Copolymer. The various areas that Frank S. Bates examines in his Polymer chemistry study include Oxide, Lamellar structure, Vesicle, Ethylene oxide and Morphology.

His study looks at the relationship between Vesicle and topics such as Amphiphile, which overlap with Lipid bilayer and Soft matter. His Phase study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chemical physics, Dynamic mechanical analysis, Metastability, Thermodynamics and Polystyrene. His Polymer study which covers Nanotechnology that intersects with Block and Macromolecule.

His most cited work include:

  • Block Copolymer Thermodynamics: Theory and Experiment (2458 citations)
  • Block Copolymers—Designer Soft Materials (2102 citations)
  • Polymersomes: tough vesicles made from diblock copolymers. (1832 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Copolymer, Polymer chemistry, Chemical engineering, Polymer and Composite material are his primary areas of study. His study in Copolymer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Crystallography, Lamellar structure, Phase, Micelle and Thermodynamics. His work on Phase diagram as part of general Phase research is frequently linked to Ternary operation, bridging the gap between disciplines.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Polymer chemistry, Oxide is strongly linked to Ethylene oxide. In his work, Amphiphile is strongly intertwined with Vesicle, which is a subfield of Chemical engineering. Frank S. Bates works mostly in the field of Polymer, limiting it down to topics relating to Neutron scattering and, in certain cases, Deuterium, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Copolymer (56.12%)
  • Polymer chemistry (33.33%)
  • Chemical engineering (25.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Copolymer (56.12%)
  • Polymer (22.92%)
  • Chemical engineering (25.65%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Frank S. Bates focuses on Copolymer, Polymer, Chemical engineering, Polymer chemistry and Composite material. His Copolymer study incorporates themes from Scattering, Crystallography, Phase, Micelle and Thermodynamics. Frank S. Bates combines subjects such as Chemical physics and Quasicrystal with his study of Phase.

His Polymer research includes themes of Nanotechnology and Block. His studies in Chemical engineering integrate themes in fields like Fibril, Tacticity, Oxide and Aqueous solution. His Polymer chemistry research integrates issues from Membrane, Ethylene oxide, Anionic addition polymerization, Monomer and Styrene.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • 50th Anniversary Perspective: Block Polymers—Pure Potential (209 citations)
  • High χ–Low N Block Polymers: How Far Can We Go? (184 citations)
  • Combining polyethylene and polypropylene: Enhanced performance with PE/iPP multiblock polymers. (149 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Polymer
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Organic chemistry

Frank S. Bates spends much of his time researching Copolymer, Polymer, Polymer chemistry, Chemical engineering and Composite material. His Copolymer research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Chemical physics, Scattering, Phase, Micelle and Epoxy. He interconnects Crystallography, Polymer blend, Degree of polymerization and Thermodynamics in the investigation of issues within Phase.

His Polymer study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Nanotechnology and Excipient. His work in Polymer chemistry addresses subjects such as Neutron scattering, which are connected to disciplines such as Lamellar structure and Viscoelasticity. Frank S. Bates has researched Chemical engineering in several fields, including Ultimate tensile strength, Tacticity and Molecular dynamics.
