Short Biography
Dr. Wenke Zhang received his Ph. D in polymer chemistry and physics from Jilin University under the supervision of Professor Xi Zhang in 2002. During 2001-2002, he was a joint-training Ph. D student in Professor Hermann Gaub’s group in Munich (LMU). Then worked as a postdoc researcher in School of Pharmacy and School of Chemistry, respectively, in the University of Nottingham, UK during 2003-2007. After that he returned to the State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structure and Materials, Jilin University, as a full professor.
Research Interest
The research of Dr. Wenke Zhang focuses mainly on the micro- and nanoscale structure-property relationships and fabrication of supramolecular polymers, includes the following: (1) Development of single-molecule force spectroscopy-IR characterization methods; (2) Polymer crystallization; (3) Nanodrug delivery; (4) Polymer mechanochemistry.
