Xianyang Bao

Based at Harvard University, Xianyang Bao focuses their scholarly efforts on hydrogels, polymer synthesis, soft matter mechanics, sustainable materials, agricultural polymers, food properties, crack resistance, viscoelasticity, bridging the gap between theory and practice in hydrogels. A representative example of their recent contribution is the study titled "Study on hydroxypropyl corn starch/alkyl ketene dimer composite film with enhanced water resistance and mechanical properties", which offers critical insights into the dynamics of hydrogels and polymer synthesis. Additional work such as "Unusually long polymers crosslinked by domains of physical bonds" further demonstrates their commitment to advancing knowledge in this domain.
