ABOUT ME

Chen Li

born in 1981, received his BSc in Chemistry in 2003 from Hunan University (Changsha, China) and PhD in Polymer Chemistry & Physics in 2009 from Sichuan University (Chengdu, China), where he was elected as full professor in 2016. His research interests include the functional liquid crystalline polymer and non-halogen flame-retardant polymers, including polyesters, polyamides and epoxy resins. As the main research staff, he participated in the National Distinguished Young Scholars Project, the National Natural Science Foundation and many other national and provincial scientific research projects. He has published more than 90 peer-reviewed papers and over 20 Chinese patents.

EDUCATION

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Functional Liquid Crystalline Polymer

  • Thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers toward multi stimuli-response behaviors

  • In situ composites from phosphorus-containing thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers with reinforcement and flame retardation simultaneously.

1999.09 - 2003.06

Hunan University

BSc in Chemistry

Inherent Flame Retardance

  • Copolymerization toward flame retardance.

  • Crosslinking toward carbonization and flame retardance, particularly anti-dripping performance, despite the absence of traditional flame-retardant elements

Novel Flame Retardants

  • Organic-inorganic hybridization for the preparation of flame retardants to meet specific requirements

Biomass Reuse

  • Bio-based epoxy resins derived from lignin, polyose and biomass materials.
