    主要研究领域：
1) Polymers:
• Fundamental research in macromolecular self assembly using seeding methods.
• Synthesis and characterization of conducting polymer nanotubes/nanofibers and composites with noble metals. Investigate their roles in catalysis, capacitive energy and hydrogen storage.
• Green chemistry approaches to polymer/metal and nanocarbon/metal catalysts for fuel cell applications.
• Fabrication of individual polymer nanofiber/nanotube devices for chemical vapor or analyte sensors and field effect transistors.
• Synthesis and characterization of biocompatible polymers/hydrogels for the applications as drug delivery carriers and water retention media in agriculture.
2) Microwave initiated carbonization:
• Rapid nanocarbon conversion
• Carbon nanotube growth on engineering materials as potential composite filler
• Optically transparent, conducting films of carbon nanotubes on flexible substrates as potential replacement for indium-tin-oxide conducting coatings.
• Line patterned flexible carbon nanotubes for chemical vapor and analyte sensors.
