Biography
Dr Koon-Yang Lee
Faculty of Engineering, Department of Aeronautics, Reader in Polymeric Materials
Dr Koon-Yang Lee’s research focuses on the development and manufacturing of novel polymeric materials with a focus on tailoring the interface between two (or more) phases to bridge the gap between chemistry, materials science and engineering, with particular emphasis on:
- Cellulose and nanocellulose engineering
- Design and fabrication of renewable polymer composites and cellulose nanocomposites
- Surface and interface engineering to improve performance of high performance polymer (nano)composites
- Life-cycle assessment of composite materials
- Particle-stabilised emulsions and foams
- Novel manufacturing techniques for polymer foams
- Reuse, recycle and up-cycle waste materials
