AboutAbout the lab
Precisely designing and synthesizing polymers, and evaluating their properties and functions
The Polymer Materials Chemistry Lab studies the precise design and synthesis of functional polymers and the evaluation of their properties and functions.
The lab works on creating biomass plastics from renewable resources and controlling their properties.
It is also developing new methods for synthesizing nanoporous polymers, aiming at applications in medicine, the environment, and energy.
The lab is also developing technologies to control the adhesion of hydrogel materials.
Key terms
