The focus of this research is on the production of new specialty products, process research and the application of polymers. Examples of specialty products include polymer additives (antioxidants, antistatic agents, heat resistants, antiplacters, plasticizers, etc.), specialty monomers (special dienes, amines, alcohols, acids and isocyanates fat). Moreover, the pure study of the relationship, particularly in relation to the basic structural properties of the polymer / surfactant, will contribute to the theory of product design and teaching.

The study of specialty chemicals is one of the focuses of this research. This is in the cooperation with the department’s professor polymer, biotechnology and chemical expertise, as well as the direction of Taiwan's chemical industry. Special chemicals are defined as chemicals that can be used on process or as final products to improve the high added value of certain properties.

Traditionally, specialization and polymer are two different fields. In Taiwan, the polymer, both in research and product manufacturing, has reached a high level of development, but most of the special products are to be imported. Specialized research will be used to improve the performance of polymers, improve the chemical industry technical level, more likely to help material science to another climax.
