RESEARCH INTERESTS

Our group is primarily dedicated to the development of carbonene smart fiber and spinning physical chemistry, with a particular focus on investigating scientific aspects such as spinning physiochemistry and the mechanisms underlying carbonene fibers and carbonene composite fibers. In addition, we also aims to explore key technologies related to thermal management in specialized fields to innovate new structural fibers. The specific research directions encompass three main areas:

a) Investigation of wet spinning physical chemistry;

b) Development of carbonene thermal management fiber materials and thermal protection;

c) New type materials for fibers.

Our work seeks to deepen the understanding of the intricate processes involved in spinning carbonene fibers while also pushing the boundaries of thermal management capabilities and electrode implantation in fibrous structures.
