Research Overview

Our group will adopt both experimental and theoretical approaches to connect the physical properties of novel soft materials (or soft matter) with their underlying chemical structures (ranging from atomic-, through nano-, to micron-scales) as well as their industrial applications (e.g. nanomaterials, biomaterials, eco-friendly materials). Our primary research targets are polymers, and the key concepts of our research projects include "multi-scale structures", "self-assembly", "functionalization", and "composites".
