Polymer synthesis and polymer chemistry: research fields include new methods of polymer synthesis, improvement of polymer synthesis, and synthesis of polymers with new structures.
Functional polymers: mainly study optical, electrical and magnetic functional polymers and liquid crystal polymers, such as photonic crystal materials, liquid crystal gel of oligothiophenol, optical switching materials based on azo molecules, polyelectrolyte self-assembly functional materials, etc.
Modification is the grafting reaction of organic or inorganic substances in synthesis to compound and optimize its properties.
Generally speaking, polymer is the research object, polymer physics and chemistry are the foundation of the discipline, and the research on new functional and high-performance polymers is the frontier of the discipline, which has a good prospect. Postgraduates majoring in polymer materials in this field include: engineering, Zhejiang University, Sichuan University, South China University of Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University, East China University of Science and Technology; Science includes Tsinghua University, China University of Science and Technology and Fudan University. It is very important to find a good tutor to see what kind of research you like, and consider whether to study for a doctorate or not, and directly find a doctoral tutor.
