معرفی
Dr. Xiangbing Zeng is a Senior Lecturer in Polymers and Liquid Crystals at the University of Sheffield's School of Chemical, Materials and Biological Engineering. With a PhD (2001) and over two decades of experience, his research bridges polymer physics and supramolecular self-assembly, focusing on nanoscale structure characterization using advanced techniques.
- Key research areas: polymer crystallization processes and supramolecular systems (liquid crystals, nanoparticles)
- Major projects: NSF-EPSRC Pire collaboration (natural materials for sustainable energy) and Leverhulme Trust-funded liquid quasicrystals research (2013)
- Technical expertise: X-ray/neutron scattering (Diamond, ESRF, ISIS), AFM, TEM, and computational modeling
His work on liquid quasicrystals has revolutionized soft matter physics, with Nature (2004) cited over 200 times. Recent publications (2023-2025) explore chiral gyroids, antiferrochirality, and nanoparticle-liquid crystal hybrids, demonstrating interdisciplinary innovation.
Scientific contributions include:
- Discovery of nanoscale quasicrystals (2004)
- Development of metamaterials using self-assembled gold nanoparticles
- Advancing polymer crystallization theory through quantitative models
