Some of the on-going research projects are:
聚合物分子刷 |
Synthesis and Properties of Polymer Bottlebrushes This research involves the design and synthesis of rigid polymers with well-defined chemical structure. The ultimate goal is to control the self-assembly process to form well-ordered 2D or 3D networks. Unique physical properties associated with the self-assembled polymeric networks based on oligopeptides are possible and may find important applications.
