中英科技桥 Research Profile SUMMARY OF MY RELEVANT RESEARCH AREAS: Brief summary of your research areas, in English just a short paragraph please My research focuses on biopolymers, particularly the nanomaterials from renewable resources, such as cellulose nanofibers, chitin whiskers, etc. The extraction of cellulose nanofibers and their applications in green nanocomposites, functional materials and tissue engineering have been the active research topics in my research group. Brief summary of your research areas, in Chinese we will translate this for non-Chinese speaking UK participants 主要从事天然高分子材料的研究，在纤维素纤维增强聚合物复合材料、纤维素纳米纤维的制备和功能化改性应用、纤维素组织工程材料方面取得重要进展。 Primary Research interests: A fuller description of your main research areas. 1. Commercialization of cellulose nanofibers production. The main obstacle for the industrialization of cellulose nanofibers from plant fibers is the vast energy consumption. We have developed an efficient pretreatment technology together with a self designed equipment that can significantly reduce the energy consumption. 2. Application of cellulose nanofibers. We have surface-modified the nanomaterials targeting the interfacial and dispersion problems in composites and a series of high performance nanocomposites have been prepared. We also use cellulose nanofibers for some advanced applications, such as paper electronics, energy storage materials, water purification materials as well as biomedicines. 3. Electrospinning of cellulose. The electrospinning of native cellulose has been extensively studied in our research group. The electrospun cellulose has been successfully applied in tissue engineering, drug delivery and water purifications, etc. 4. 3D printing. We have self-developed the first equipment in China that can continuously 3D print objects at a very fast speed with photocurable resins (These print speeds allow parts to be produced in minutes instead of hours). The application of this technique for biomedical application is currently under investigation. Topics in which you would like to develop collaborative research: Please indicate here research areas for which you would like to find partners to undertake joint research.
