This research program involves the development of new polymer synthetic chemistry which can be utilized to generate advanced polymers and nanomaterials with well-defined architectures, an emerging field in chemistry which promises discovery, innovation and tremendous growth. We are particularly interested in the design, synthesis, and development of new complex polymers and nanomaterials as they have the potential to exhibit interesting properties and advanced functions. Proposed work includes the development of new chiral, metal-containing and pH-responsive polymeric materials, which have potential applications in chiral resolution, catalysis, organic light emitting diodes, solar cells, and programmed drug delivery. Our research will explore the properties and functions of these materials, and seek to understand how they are related to the molecular structures, thus providing the basis for the future rational design, synthesis and molecular engineering of polymers and nanomaterials with desired properties and functions. It is anticipated that the proposed research will help lay foundation for nanomaterials science and technology, the future advances of which will depend, to a large extent, on the effective control of chemical structures on the molecular level. All this will help advance science and technology nationally and internationally, and promote socioeconomic growth and well being of all Canadians.
