Research Interests
Polymer synthesis chemistry and functional polymer materials, specific research includes
1) Dynamic smart polymer networks based on novel reversible covalent bonds (degradable/recyclable/self-healing/environmentally responsive);
2) intrinsically flame retardant polymer material;
3) polyelectrolyte material;
4) Macromolecular flame retardants. According to the functional requirements of materials, the molecular structure, sequence and topological structure of the polymer were designed reasonably, and efficient chemical reaction or polymerization methods were used to construct the polymer.
