Mükerrem Çakmak's research focuses on the processing and structural characterization of polymers and polymer-based composite films, examining how manufacturing methods like stretching, roll-to-roll processing, and magnetic or electric field alignment affect a material's internal structure and resulting electrical, dielectric, and mechanical properties. Applications explored include flexible sensors, energy-related dielectric films, antimicrobial nanofiber mats, shape memory foams, and biocompatible polymers derived from natural sources like hemp. This work bridges materials science and polymer engineering, often connecting processing conditions to real-time structural measurements and end-use performance.
