Soft matter refers to a wide range of materials. The research areas of our school mainly focus on fundamental scientific questions in chemistry and chemical engineering disciplines, while continuously expanding into areas include advanced information and energy materials, green chemistry and sustainable engineering, health/medical-related advanced functional materials, and high-performance hybrid materials.

We embrace the idea of pursuing both cutting-edge scientific discovery and real-world impact. Our approach features:

1. A core focus on fundamental scientific research in soft matter, supported by advanced studies in hybrid functional materials, biomaterials and life sciences, new energy systems, nanomaterials, and green/sustainable chemical engineering.

2. Parallel development of industrial-scale manufacturing processes and scalable engineering solutions, bridging laboratory breakthroughs to industrial applications.

These efforts form an integrated system for education, research, and industrialization. Through this framework, we aim to achieve world-class leadership in soft matter innovation and its applications within the next decade.
