Professor Huang's major research interests are to investigate the curing behavior and to establish the structure-property relationships for thermoset polymers, polymer blends, and polymeric composites in the reactive polymer processing. Related processes include compression molding, injection molding, reaction injection molding (RIM), resin transfer molding (RTM), and pultrusion. Materials studied contain low-shrink unsaturated polyester (UP), vinyl ester resin (VER), epoxy (EP), polyurethane (PU), and interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN). These polymers have outstanding mechanical properties, and most of the processes are able to handle fiber-reinforcement loadings and long fiber lengths. Due to the desirability of lightweight composite materials for structural applications in the aerospace, automotive, and housing industries, these processes have accepted wide application and will offer great potential for growth in the future.
Our current research in the reactive polymer processing can be divided into three aspects, namely, material design; curing behavior including reaction kinetics, phase separation, rheological changes, and morphological changes during the cure; and resin processability and physical and mechanical properties of molded parts.
Recently, polymer nanocomposites containing graphene oxide (GO), thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRGO), polymer-grafted GO or polymer-grafted TRGO, and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques in polymer physics have been the research interest in our laboratory.
Professor Huang served as a post-doctoral researcher in the Chemical Engineering Department at the Ohio State State University (U.S.A.) in 1987-1988. He received the Society of Plastics Engineers (U.S.A.) ANTEC best paper award in 1990, and the National Science Council (Taiwan, R.O.C.) Annual Research Award from 1990 to 2001.
Specialized equipments include TA Q20 Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC); Nicolet iS10 Fourier Transfer Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) with temperature-controlled flow-through cell (TFC); Testometric M500-25AT Universal Testing Machine ; Dynisco Basic Pendulum Impact Tester; Small Angle and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering System (Rigaku Innovative Technologies Inc., USA, installed in Jan. 2005.)
