About
Justin M. Gorham is a leading researcher in polymer surface science, with a focus on engineering advanced interfacial properties for soft robotics, flexible electronics, and membrane technologies. His most cited work, “Formation of a Crack-Free, Hybrid Skin Layer with Tunable Surface Topography and Improved Gas Permeation Selectivity on Elastomers Using Gel–Liquid Infiltration Polymerization” (2017, 11 citations), introduces a transformative method for modifying elastomer surfaces without cracking—a persistent challenge in the field. By leveraging gel–liquid infiltration polymerization, Gorham created hybrid skin layers that simultaneously control wettability, adhesion, and gas permeation selectivity, enabling unprecedented tunability in surface topography. This innovation directly addresses limitations of conventional ultraviolet-ozone (UVO) treatments, which often induce brittleness and defects. His work has been cited in contexts ranging from stretchable electronics to selective gas separation membranes, underscoring its broad impact. Gorham’s contributions are recognized for bridging fundamental polymer chemistry with practical device fabrication, offering a robust platform for next-generation soft materials. His research continues to inspire new strategies for designing durable, multifunctional surfaces that meet the demands of emerging technologies.
