报告简介：
Understanding how complex hybrid materials are organized through synergistic self-assembly and chemical synthesis across extended and multiple length scale is of growing interest in materials science and technologies.
This talk will highlight some recent advances in the synthetic construction of macroscopic bulk materials under equilibrium conditions.
We focus on organization of higher-order architectures from inorganic nanophases using cellulose self-assembly to coordinate the nucleation, growth and transformation.
We examine a range of synthetic modalities that give rise to extended length-scale organization of matter spanning from molecular to macroscopic level. Of particular interest is a helical superstructure of cellulose by entropic process to facilitate its use as functional nanobuilding bloack for extended scale architecturation with anisotropic properties and chiroptical activity.
Key elements of the constructional codes associated with these processes are identified with regard to existing knowledge, and presented as a heuristic guideline for the rational organization of advanced nanomaterials that hold promising potentials in photonic, environmental and energy applications.

RESEARCH INTERESTS
Based on bioinspired concepts, we seek to advance a new integrative approach to the synthetic construction of macroscale bulk materials with embedded complexity, higher-order architectures and integrated functions from multi-scale building blocks, and emergence of complex forms of organized matter.
We aim to explore new scientific and technological horizons based on the understanding of living systems which are capable of collective behaviors through matter and energy exchange.
