Research summary
AI-generated

Yafei Gao works in chemistry with a strong recent focus on thermoplastic polymer materials, especially poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and its glass-fiber and carbon-fiber reinforced composites, including how they are made, cured, and how they hold up under aging conditions. The work spans practical materials engineering (such as composites for wind turbine blades) as well as a range of other applied chemistry topics like enzyme engineering, metal-organic frameworks for sensing, environmental pollutant assessment, and biomedical nanomaterials. The publication record reflects a broad, application-oriented approach rather than a single narrow specialty.
