Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mengfan Zhu's research focuses on materials science, particularly the fabrication and application of functional membranes and nanocoatings. She has investigated methods such as initiated chemical vapor deposition (ICVD) to create flexible membranes for water treatment, battery components, and drug delivery systems. Her work also includes developing solventless polymer-grafted meshes for efficient oil-water separation and vapor-deposited Janus membranes designed for desalination of oil-contaminated wastewater. Additionally, Zhu has explored chemical vapor deposited polyelectrolyte coatings with osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, aiming to promote bone regeneration. Her research extends to tailoring surfaces of 3D scaffolds to enhance osteogenic differentiation and creating substrate-independent wettability patterns for improved droplet transport. Zhu holds a h-index of 9 with 22 publications and 416 citations.
