Mr. YAO Yuan, MPhil student of Prof. Pei LI, has been awarded the Nature Poster Prize in the International Polymer Colloids Group (IPCG) Conference 2015 held in the University of New Hampshire, USA, from 28 June to 3 July 2015. The Conference is a biennial event hold by the International Polymer Colloids Group (IPCG), aiming at discussing the most recent advancement in all main aspects of Polymer Colloids, exchanging research ideas and fostering collaborations and networking.
Mr. Yao, being invited to the IPCG Graduate Research Symposium (GRS), has gained recognitions from the judges with his presented poster entitled "Novel Nonconjugated Photoluminescent Polymer Dots". In his work, Mr. Yao demonstrated a simple and versatile method of producing nonconjugated photoluminescent polymer dots (PPDs) which process excellent fluorescent properties in water. A novel fluorescent mechanism behind the nonconjugated PPDs has been proposed and opened up new understanding on autofluorescence of polymeric materials. This novel synthetic approach for PPDs is very amenable for large scale production and potential applications of these PPDs will give breakthrough in the fields of bioimaging, OLED and solar cells.
With the outstanding performance of Mr. Yao and his interactive sharing with the judges, Mr. Yao has been selected as the awardee of the Best Poster Award by Nature Publishing Group this year. Congratulations to Mr. Yao!
