Research Interest
Hydrogels: Self-assembled organic and polymeric hydrogel materials will be developed for biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, biomimetic adhesive. Nanocontainer: Single chain polymeric nanoparticles with stimuli-responsiveness will be designed towards development of efficient catalytic nanocontainer in persuit of mimicking enzymes and in designing self-healing materials. Multivalent molecular probe: Taking lesson from nature, molecular probe with enhanced binding affinity will be designed for application in imaging and diagnostic application
