​研究方向說明：​

        研究方向緊密圍繞循環經濟與減碳議題，展現了材料科學在資源閉環利用和碳排放減少中的關鍵角色。新纖維、彈性體及超臨界二氧化碳發泡材料的合成，不僅推動了輕量化與高性能材料的應用，還利用超臨界二氧化碳作為綠色加工介質，減少傳統加工中對化石燃料的依賴，從而降低碳足跡。功能性酯基 Vitrimers 的設計則聚焦於動態可逆鍵結技術，實現了材料的高效解聚與重組，延長產品壽命，促進資源再利用，符合循環經濟的核心理念。氣體偵測器結合光催化技術，提供了一種高效的環境監測與治理手段，能精準捕捉溫室氣體或有害氣體，並藉由光催化過程進行分解，減少大氣中的污染物濃度。此外，針對廢棄塑膠的再生與高值化應用，通過化學回收技術將塑膠廢料轉化為高附加值的功能性材料，不僅緩解了塑膠廢棄物對環境的壓力，還在加工過程中減少了對原生石化資源的需求，實現資源閉環與碳排放的雙重減少。這些研究方向以循環經濟為核心，協同應對碳中和挑戰，從材料設計到資源再利用，構建了一個從源頭減少碳排放到終端回收升值的全過程技術體系，為永續發展提供了實踐藍圖。
     My research integrates materials science with circular economy principles to drive carbon neutrality. I have developed lightweight fibers, elastomers, and supercritical CO2-foamed materials, utilizing CO2 as a green medium to replace fossil-fuel-dependent processes. By designing functional ester-based vitrimers with dynamic reversible bonding, I enable efficient depolymerization and resource loops. Additionally, I developed photocatalytic gas sensors that simultaneously detect and decompose pollutants, as well as chemical recycling technologies that upcycle plastic waste into high-value, functional materials. This integrated framework—spanning source reduction to end-of-life upcycling—provides a scalable blueprint for sustainable manufacturing and emissions reduction.
