Dr Lee A. Fielding

Dr Lee A. Fielding is a Senior Lecturer in Polymer Chemistry in the Department of Materials at The University of Manchester, where he is currently the Head of Education for Materials Science and Engineering.

The main focus of his research involves the design, synthesis and applications of polymers and polymer colloids for use in various applications. His group’s expertise centres on the preparation and characterisation of colloidal nanoparticles, colloidal nanocomposites, polymer latexes and hydrogels using primarily (controlled) radical polymerisation techniques. The research in his group is collaborative in nature, with currently ongoing projects in the areas of e.g. Sustainable waterborne protective coatings; Nanocomposite, multifunctional hydrogels; Polymer additives for 3D printing; Graphene and related 2D material composites; and Biomedical diagnostics based on polymeric nano/micro-particles.
