Welcome

We aim to develop novel functional materials based on both synthetic and bio-based polymers via host-guest chemistry and supramolecular self-assembly. We further study the formation of the supramolecular polymeric systems into nanostructures and smart (bio)materials, such as stimuli-responsive hydrogels, micelles, nano-vesicles, micro- and nanoparticles, micro- and nano-capsules, surface coatings, etc., for drug and gene delivery, nanomedicine, tissue engineering, personal care, and environmental sustainability applications.

About the PI

Prof Li has been a principal investigator working on synthetic and bio-based polymers, and their supramolecular self-assemblies forming nanostructures and smart functional materials (hydrogels, nanoparticles, micelles, nano-vesicles, micro- and nano-encapsulation, surface coatings, etc.) for drug and gene delivery, nanomedicine, bioimaging and biosensing, personal and consumer cares, and environmental sustainability applications. So far, he has published 230 papers in international journals, including Nature, Nature Biomedical Engineering, Nature Water, Nature Communications, Science Advances, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Angewandte Chemie, JACS, Biomaterials, Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, etc., with an h-index of 73 and total citations over 17,600 according to the Web of Science. He filed 12 patents, edited one research book, and authored a few book chapters. He served chairs/co-chairs for 8 international symposia/conferences on the topics of bio-based polymers, hydrogels and biomaterials, and supramolecular chemistry.
