Research interests

Tao's research focuses on the development of photopolymer resins for 3D printing, utilizing dynamic covalent chemistry to enable recyclability and reprocessabilitycapabilities. A central goal is to minimize material waste and promote environmental responsibility through sustainable design.

By simplifying complex synthesis route and integrating smart functionalities, Tao aim to advance additive manufacturing toward more intelligent, adaptable, and eco-friendly materials. This work contributes to the broader effort of making 3D printing technologies both more efficient and environmentally sustainable.
