Research

The  research group’s interests focus on the synthesis, characterization, and application of amphiphilic responsive polymers and useful self-assembled  polymer nanomaterials such as vesicles, cylinders and micelles. The group also has wide interests in the interdisciplinary bridging between polymer science,  biomedicine and materials science, such as controlled drug delivery, gene delivery, smart nanomaterials, biomineralization, molecular motor, theranostic platforms and diabetes control etc.
