Fundamental understanding of transport phenomena in micro and nano layered systems will be developed by performing systematic experimental and modeling studies to identify the dominant controlling structural variables.  This understanding of fundamental transport phenomena will be used to design and optimize unique layered systems for food and electronic packaging, drug delivery and diagnostic devices.  Layered material systems will be optimized to exhibit transport-property profiles that may be otherwise inaccessible.
