Research Interest |
We are currently focused on the design, synthesis, and applications of biomimetic and intelligent polymers.
The detailed research nterests include:
1) The fundamental research on controlled/"living" radical polymerizations and their application in precision synthesis of functional polymers;
2) Preparation of biomimetic molecularly imprinted polymers (artificial antibodies and plastic enzymes) and their applications in various bioanalyses and drug delivery;
3) Preparation of photoresponsive liquid crystalline polymers and their applications (e.g., as artificial muscles).

History |
Professor Dr. Huiqi Zhang studied chemistry at Nankai University (Tianjin, China) starting from 1987 and received his PhD in Polymer Chemistry and Physics there in 1996 under the supervision of Professor Binglin He and Professor Wenqiang Huang. He then obtained a faculty position at Tianjin University (Tianjin, China) and stayed there until May 1999. After working successively at University of Twente, the Netherlands (with Professor David N. Reinhoudt and Dr. Willem Verboom), Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands (with Professor Rob van der Linde and Professor Ulrich S. Schubert), and Lund University, Sweden (with Professor Klaus Mosbach) as a post-doc/guest researcher, he came back to China and took a full professor position at Nankai University in August 2006. His current research interests are biomimetic and intelligent polymers, with main focus on such research areas as controlled/“living” radical polymerization, water-compatible molecularly imprinted polymers, and reactive photoresponsive liquid crystalline polymers.
