Creation of new macromolecular materials with novel molecular structures and unique functional properties
1 Design and synthesis of new monomeric building blocks for the construction of new macromolecular architectures
2 Exploration of functionality-tolerant, environmentally benign, highly efficient, and stereo- and regioselective polymerization catalysts
3 Development of new polymerization reactions
4 Synthesis of linear and hyperbranched conjugative organic and organometallic polymers
5 Development of nanostructured materials with liquid crystalline, chiroptical (optically active), photoconductive (photovoltaic), light-emitting, wavelength-filtering, optical-limiting, superparamagnetic, self-assembling, and biological properties
