Research Interest

Jiayin Yuan focus on the synthesis and materials application of poly(ionic liquid)s, a class of multifunctional polymers that are produced from ionic liquids. These polymers carry a traditional profile of polymers and simultaneously maintain some distinctive properties of ionic liquids, therefore representing a new concept to build up task-specific functional polymers. Our activities on this topic cover new polymer structures and properties, the colloidal particle systems, porous polymers and their membranes, and responsive materials. Recently, our interest in polymer-derived hetero-atom-doped porous carbons for energy, environment and sustainability applications grows thicker and turns into our new research strength.
