报告内容简介
Nanotechnology is promising to provide revolutionary solutions to a variety of challenging issues we are facing today, including healthcare, energy crisis, and environment reservation. The progress of this technology relies on the innovation in methodologies for the creation of functional nanomaterials. In spite of intensive research efforts, it is still a great challenge to synthesize nanomaterials in a controlled manner in terms of their functions, architectures and processibilities.
We have addressed this issue in the past few years through the synthesis and self-assembly of well-defined polymers, especially metal-containing polymers. Through the incorporation of metal elements into supramolecules, nanomaterials with a range of functions, including electronic, magnetic, catalytic, can be designed. More excitingly, during the course of our research, we developed a strategy of living supramolecular polymerization. Similar to macromolecule engineering using living polymerization, this supramolecular technique allowed us to precisely synthesize materials at nanometer scale through non-covalent interactions. The talk will summarize these recent advances of our research.
