Overview of Research
Our research focuses on stereospecific living radical polymerization that can simultaneously control the molecular weights and stereochemistry during radical polymerization and the precision polymer synthesis for functional polymers. Our recent research areas are now further extended to sequence-regulated vinyl polymers based on the design of monomers and the polymerization reactions and precision polymerization of naturally-occurring bio-based monomers for the environmentally benign and sustainable functional polymeric materials.
