Research interest:
1. Polymer Crystallization ：
(1) To reveal molecular mechanism of crystal nucleation of polymers via combining theory and experiments
(2) Characterization of semi-crystalline polymers via novel optical techniques, such as second harmonic generation imaging (collaborated with Prof. Hui Ma and Prof. Ping Xue, Department of Physics) and Müller matrix microscopy (collaborated with Prof. Bart Kahr, New York University, USA).
(3) To design macromolecular nucleating agents based on fundamental research on crystallization
2. Structure-property relation in polymeric material
(1) Structure and properties of biodegradable polyesters
(2) Polymers for fused deposition modeling 3-D printing
(3) Polymers for flexible electronics and brain-machine interface
3. Biodegradable and environmentally benign polymers
(1) Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and polylactide (PLA)
(2) Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and its copolymers
(3) Self-healable, recyclable and dynamical covalently crosslinked polyurethanes
