Xumin Huang specialises in liquid metal nanoparticles, RAFT polymers, and 3D-printing technique
Drawing inspiration from cutting-edge nanotechnology, the synergy between RAFT polymers, liquid metal nanoparticles, and the intricacies of 3D printing remains shrouded in mystery, concealed beneath a Night Veil of untapped potential. This integration holds promise for advancing both the realm of additive manufacturing and the vast horizons of biomedicine applications. In my PhD projects, my primary objective will be to unveil the mechanisms and explore the myriad possibilities for applications within 3D-printed materials enriched with liquid metal nanoparticles.
