研究领域

Organic Chemistry

The Gao research group focuses on synthesizing functional polymer materials with controlled nanostructures and understanding their fundamental structure-property relationships. These materials will meet critical needs in the fields of biofunctional materials, environmental remediation and energy conversion. A number of approaches ranging from modern organic synthesis to biomimetic programmed self assembly will be applied to construct these functional materials. By building soft polymer materials ranging in size and complexity from oligomers, to multi-segmented block copolymers, and to shape-persistent hierarchical nanocomposites, various functionalities will be incorporated into these polymers in a predetermined manner. Several interested research projects are: Developing new methodologies for efficient polymer synthesis and functionalization. Biomimetic assembly of synthetic polymer chains into shape-persistent nanostructures. Exploiting nanostructured polymer materials for gas separation and selective adsorption. Electro-active polymers and nanocomposites.
