His research experience has been directed to a wide range of fundamental issues of polymer synthesis and modification, particularly the development of new polymerization reactions and understanding reaction mechanisms. He has applied Williamson and Wittig phasetransfer catalyzed reactions to the preparation of new classes of functional polymers and sequential copolymers, as well as novel alternating block 38
