Functional Polymers, Hydrogels & Advanced Membranes

We develop functional and porous polymer systems—including smart hydrogels, micro- and nanoparticles, and COF/COP-based materials—for localized drug delivery, theranostics, tissue repair, bioseparation, and wearable bioelectronics. In parallel, we engineer ion-conductive and selective membranes for fuel cells, redox-flow batteries, electrolysis, and advanced separation technologies.
