Keyword
Hydrogel, Mechanochemistry, Spectroscopy, Microscopy, Structure and dynamics
Research Outline
My research focuses on polymerizations in the double network gel triggered by mechanical stimulations, using both experimental and computational methods to elucidate the presence and reactivity of mechanoradicals. Building upon the strategic junction between the double network hydrogel and mechanochemistry, it will provide numerous possibilities for developing functional gels and chemical reactions.
