Chen Zhongren

Biography

Professor Chen Zhongren graduated from Zhejiang University Department of Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, chemical engineering and chemistry, under the tutelage of 2005 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Professor Grubbs and Professor Kornfield. At the University of Stanford Waymouth, the team was engaged in the metallocene-catalyzed synthesis of rigid block polymers and its high-elastic molecular basis for postdoctoral research, followed by the Honeywell Electronic Materials Division to study low-k materials, joined Bridgestone in 2000 Group engaged in rubber industry research and development, as the company's senior R & D personnel and core management team members. In 2010, he was elected to the fifth batch of Central "Thousand Talents Program" ( Class A ) . In 2011, he was appointed as the Distinguished Specialist of China , Dean of the School of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering, Director of the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering. He is currently a professor of chemistry at Nanfang University of Science and Technology.

Research Interest

The research topics include molecular design and controlled polymerization, aggregation and regulation of aggregated structures, self-assembly and multi-scale processing of micro-nanomaterials, and the development of polymer materials by adjusting the metastable structure of polymers to optimize the properties of polymer materials, Composite material interface design, fatigue failure mechanism and life prediction.In the soft material cracking mechanism, superstructure self-assembly, ultra-high molecular weight polymer chain entanglement control, block copolymer interface and other basic research, and high-performance elastomer, Ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin materials, low-density polymer foam materials, low-cost super-fiber composite materials, green preparation and processing applications, and made some progress.
