Mark J. MacLachlan is a researcher in materials chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and supramolecular chemistry, with a focus on cellulose nanocrystals and macrocycles. His work explores the synthesis and properties of functional materials, including periodic mesoporous organosilicas, chiral nematic mesoporous materials, and responsive photonic hydrogels. He investigates sustainable carbon materials and the self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals to develop chiral photonic materials. His research also includes non-aqueous supramolecular assembly and the creation of shaped ceramics with tunable magnetic properties. MacLachlan's contributions span the design of stimuli-responsive materials and the development of bifunctional periodic mesoporous organosilicas.
