The Lightweight and Interfacial Materials

At the GeM Laboratory's ​​Lightweight and Interfacial Materials (LIM) Group ​​, they are on a thrilling quest to decode the secrets of phase separation and interfacial behaviors in heterophase polymer systems. It is not just research—it is a journey toward pioneering new materials that could revolutionize the way we think about innovation. In their collaborative hive of activity, they craft functional micro/nano-cellular foams that hold the key to next-level electromagnetic wave absorption and thermal management. Their passion for discovery extends to the realm of mixed ionic/electronic conducting polymers and the development of high-performance polymer blends and composites that promise to set new benchmarks in their fields. They are also wholeheartedly committed to driving…
