The research interests in our group are mainly focused on: 1) mechanistic understanding of reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP); 2) kinetically controlled (co)polymerization of multivinyl monomers (MVMs); 3) structural design and biomedical application of knotted/cyclized and branched polymers in skin wound healing and tissue regeneration. Our clinical targets are gene therapy of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), diabetic foot repair, cartilage regeneration and neural degenerative diseases. Specifically, our current research areas include: Mechanistic understanding of ATRP, RAFT and CU0-mediated RDRP (including experiment, theoretical calculation and computer simulation) Kinetically controlled (co)polymerization of MVMs Macromolecular design and engineering via RDRP techniques (ATRP, RAFT, CU0-mediated RDRP, ROP and anionic polymerisation) and click chemistry Multifunctional cyclized/knotted and branched polymers as gene delivery vectors Injectable extracellular matrix (ECM) biopolymer hybrid hydrogels for stem cells encapsulation and drug delivery Bio-inspired responsive polymers as tissue adhesives
