Your Position: Prof. Yingwu LUO's Group > Research

Research field

Our main research filed is soft material (polymers and colloids) science and engineering. The study focuses on the novel controllable preparation methods of polymer multi-scale structures and the relationship between the multi-scale structures and their properties. The findings will be applied in the rational design and manufacture of new functional polymer products.

Research Interest

  •  Living radical (mini)emulsion polymerization

  • Macromolecular Engineering and nanostructure polymeric materials

  • Thermoplastic elastomer

  •  Functional and smart soft materials

  •  Porous polymeric materials

  • Li-ion battery additives and binders
