candidates of tissue glues and wound dressings. In the first project, an instant paintable antimicrobial hemostatic agent was developed based on hydrogen-bonding interaction-enabled coacervates. The fabrication of the coacervate was achieved via one-step mixing of silicotungstic acid (SiW) and poly(ethylene

interactions, providing a new platform for engineering multifunctional coacervate materials as tissue glues, wound dressings, and membrane-free cell systems. Instant underwater adhesives have gained special interest as paintable electrodes in the development of next-generation aqueous batteries. In the

second project, coacervation-driven instant paintable underwater adhesives with tunable optical and electrochromic properties were prepared. The formation of the adhesives was induced through the facile one-step mixing of SiW and poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene

skin’s functions, has gained special interest in the development of next-generation electronics. In the second project, an electrically conductive composite combining stretchability, self-healing, adhesiveness and sensing capability was prepared via a facial solution casting method, by triggering the in

recognized as attractive platforms for drug delivery. In the first project, a thermo-responsive core cross-linked polymeric micelle was developed based on a double hydrophilic block copolymer of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PEG-b-PNIPAm), with UPy functionality incorporated throughout

beating. In the third project, a novel type of multifunctional conductive polymer hydrogel was fabricated by incorporating UPy groups as cross-linking points into a conventional brittle polyaniline/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PANI/PSS) hydrogel, leading to a platform with the integration of high
