Professor Biqiong Chen

School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

My research interests are mainly focussed on polymers and polymer nanocomposites, aiming to gain a sound scientific understanding of the formation and reinforcement/toughening mechanisms in polymer nanocomposites, whilst also creating advanced polymers and polymer nanocomposites (e.g. smart and multifunctional) for a variety of applications including healthcare, energy and general engineering.  To achieve these aims, my research takes a holistic approach, encompassing synthesis, functionalisation, processing, characterisation and application of polymers, nanoparticles and polymer nanocomposites
