Biography:

WentaoHao received a Bachelor of Engineering (Polymer Materials andEngineering) from Hefei University of Technology, China in 1995, aMaster of Engineering (Polymer Materials and Engineering) from thesame university in 1998, and a PhD in Polymer Chemistry and Physicsfrom University of Science and Technology of China in 2001. He joinedin Hefei University of Technology in 2004, and became an AssociateProfessor in 2008.

ResearchInterests：

WentaoHao's research interests revolve around functional polymercomposites. They cover fundamental issues related to the interactionbetween different phases, as well as the application of chemicallytailored interfaces in functional textiles, coatings, films, plasticcomposites, and rubber composites. His research group designed andsynthesized a range of electrospun textiles with excellenthydrophobicity. They are exploring their applications in separationprocesses, pollutants removal, and waterproof clothing. His researchgroup is also particularly interested in sustainable polymercomposites, including toughened and flame-retardant polylactic acidcomposites, and the use of recycled waste in polymer composites.These technical interests are united by the challenge ofunderstanding the interfacial interactions between organic polymersand inorganic components.
