1. Polymer Composites for Electronics

Electronic materials are the fundament for modern electronics. Polymers for electronics play important roles in chip fabrication, 5G antenna, adhesives of microelectronics, thermal materials, flexible electronics. The polymers for electronics are the key element to offer lightweight electronics within extremely small dimensions. Our group combines the thermoplastic materials with new conductive fillers (such as metals) to create a new generation of electronics for microchips, flexible sensors, and wearable devices. We will invesitage the fundamental connection between polymers and fillers to understand the structure-property relationship of the resulted electronics. Different electronic materials will be produced. We are also going to build tight connection between such polymeric materials with consumer electronics to provide modern industrial products.

2. Functional Metal-Polymer Composites

With tremendous applications in our daily lives and industry, thermoplastic composites are critically important in the world. Metal-polymer and carbon-polymer composites are the two of the most applied thermoplastic composites in industry, which combines the their advantages of mechanical, processing, and electrical features. Metal-polymer and carbon-polymer composites are broadly applied in the daily and industrial products, such as packaging, medical device, electronics and engineering component. In our group, we will investigate thermoplastic composites in diverse aspects, including their mechanical, rheological and phase transition behaviors, to design new types of functional composites.
