Interfacial Engineering with Polymer Brushes:
from Nanopatterning to Soft Electronics

Abstract：
Polymer brushes are polymer that tenders one end on the surface. Because of its chemical diversity, mechanical robustness, and high grafting density, polymer brush shows great potentials in a wide variety of applications ranging from electronic fabrications to stem cell researches. This talk will discuss two important researches on polymer brushes in our laboratory. The first part will be focused on the state-of-the-art development of a nanotechnology, namely “dip-pen nanodisplacement lithography (DNL)”, for making 3D polymer structures and their applications in cell behavior study. The second part will demonstrate how one can use polymer brushes as a nanoplatform for making soft metal electrodes that can be used in a wide variety of soft electronics.
After the seminar, Prof. Zheng will also briefly introduce the application of PhD program and the fellowship at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Undergraduates and Graduates with master degree are encouraged to attend for Prof. Zheng’s talk. For more information, please see the attached flyer and the link below.

 
 
Short BIOGRAPHY

Prof. Zijian Zheng is currently Full Professor at the Institute of Textile and Clothing (ITC) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research interests are surface science, self-assembly, nanolithography, polymer science, and bendable/stretchable/wearable/graphene materials and electronic devices. He received his B. Eng. with honor from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University in 2003. Between 2004 and 2007, Dr. Zheng moved to the Department of Chemistry and Nanoscience Center at University of Cambridge for his PhD study under the supervision of Prof. Wilhelm T. S. Huck, where he worked on nanotechnology and organic optoelectronics. In 2008, Prof.. Zheng joined the group of Prof. Chad A. Mirkin as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Chemistry and International Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern University, working on the development of Dip-Pen Nanolithography and Polymer Pen Lithography. He joined ITC as Assistant Professor in 2009 and was promoted to tenured Associate Professor via a fast track in 2013, and Full Professor in 2017. He has published >70 papers in high-impact international scientific journals including Science, Nature Comm., Advanced Materials, Journal of the America Chemical Society, Angewandte Chemie. He also files 16 international and China patents. He serves as Guest Editor for Advanced Materials and Small. He is recipient of more than 10 academic awards such as GENEVA Innovation Award, Future Leaders Programs and Early Career Awards. He is elected as Founding Member of The Young Academy of Sciences of Hong Kong, under The Academy of Sciences of Hong Kong.
