Polymer Topology Team
The Polymer Topology Team uses a synthetic chemistry driven and bottom-up approach to discover and understand key parameters of polymer design and polymer-network morphology towards the development of tunable and stimuli-responsive soft materials.

Abstract of Timeas Project
This project focuses on target-oriented synthesis of biomacromolecule surrogates. Through a molecular engineering approach using polymer topological design and modular runing of graft-copolymer structure, the project aims to mimick physical properties of structural proteins, as well as investigating the relationship between macromolecular structure and macroscopic functions of bulk materials.
