Research & Initiatives

The Polymer Nanomaterials Laboratory at Chung-Ang University, Republic of Korea focuses on controlling the interfaces between neutral and charged (or highly polar) species in order to prepare polymeric (or hybrid) nanomaterials for energy, healthcare, and industrial applications.

We are now studying polymeric nanomaterials used in three research disciplines:

- Nanomedicines for cancer therapy based on photothermal and photodynamic effects

- Photocatalysts based on conjugated polymer-metal/metal oxide hybrids

- Functional fibers/textiles/composite hydrogels with photothermal/antiviral/antimicrobial properties
