SUMMARYOFMYRELEVANTRESEARCHAREAS:
Briefsummaryofyourresearchareas,inEnglishjustashortparagraphplease
Myresearchfocusesonbiopolymers,particularlythenanomaterialsfromrenewableresources,suchas cellulose nanofibers, chitin whiskers, etc. The extraction of cellulose nanofibers and theirapplications ingreennanocomposites, functionalmaterialsand tissueengineeringhavebeen theactiveresearchtopicsinmyresearchgroup.Brief summary of your research areas, in Chinese we will translate this for non-Chinese speaking UKparticipants主要从事天然高分子材料的研究,在纤维素纤维增强聚合物复合材料、纤维素纳米纤维的制
备和功能化改性应用、纤维素组织工程材料方面取得重要进展。PrimaryResearchinterests:Afullerdescriptionofyourmainresearchareas.1. Commercialization of cellulose nanofibers production. The main obstacle for the industrialization of
cellulosenanofibers fromplant fibers is thevastenergyconsumption.Wehavedevelopedanefficientpretreatmenttechnologytogetherwithaselfdesignedequipmentthatcansignificantlyreducetheenergyconsumption.
2. Applicationofcellulosenanofibers.Wehavesurface-modifiedthenanomaterialstargetingtheinterfacialand dispersion problems in composites and a series of high performance nanocomposites have beenprepared.Wealsousecellulosenanofibers for someadvancedapplications, suchaspaperelectronics,energystoragematerials,waterpurificationmaterialsaswellasbiomedicines.
3. Electrospinningof cellulose.Theelectrospinningofnativecellulosehasbeenextensively studied inourresearchgroup.Theelectrospuncellulosehasbeensuccessfullyappliedintissueengineering,drugdeliveryandwaterpurifications,etc.
4. 3Dprinting.Wehaveself-developedthefirstequipmentinChinathatcancontinuously3Dprintobjectsata very fast speedwithphotocurable resins (Theseprint speedsallowparts to beproduced inminutesinstead of hours). The application of this technique for biomedical application is currently underinvestigation.
