Research interests

Nowadays, polymer thin films have attracted much attention due to their potential applications in improving human health and medical care. Majored in polymer physics, I am interested in all the topics related to the film formation process (polymer chain dynamics, crystallization, phase separation, etc.), and physical properties of polymer thin films (mechanics, mass transfer, etc.). Specifically, I have introduced a technique to obtain substrate-free polymer thin films. The evaporation-induced phase separation mechanism and the mechanical properties of such freestanding thin films were clarified. Meanwhile, a “nanosheet wrapping” method was recently developed to facilitate the high-quality cell and tissue imaging, which has shown its excellent water-retention effect and sample fixation ability. At present, I dedicate myself to exploiting unique properties, and developing novel materials based on polymer thin films.
