My research focuses on pursuing more efficient synthetic methods and achieving higher level perfection in the design of polymer architectures via controlled/living polymerization methods; and the study of applications of polymeric materials with well-defined structures in organic electronics, batteries, nanodiagnostics, and therapeutics, stimuli-responsive materials, etc.
Current research topics include 1) Synthesis of ultrahigh molecular weight polymers with tailored molecular structures; 2) Efficient synthesis of bottlebrush polymers by ATRP and click polymerization; 3) Application of polymeric materials in solid Li metal batteries.
