Prof Ben Zhong Tang, Professor of Chemistry, and Prof Zikang Tang, Professor of Physics, are among the eight scholars to receive this year's Croucher Senior Research Fellowship Awards.
Prof Ben Zhong Tang's research focuses on advanced materials based on new molecules and macromolecules constructed from acetylenic triple-bond building blocks. His findings on the structural design of the building blocks, the development of new polymerization reactions and robust polymerization catalysts are the key to making molecules technologically useful as specialty materials.
