Moreover, the report is also attended by a number of teachers like Wang Shengfu, Dean of the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, and postgraduate students.
Professor Jun Chen's presentation was entitled "Conducting Polymer based Bipolar Electrochemistry for Wireless Stimulation". In his presentation, Professor Chen introduced the principles and construction of bipolar electrochemistry and its combination with conducting polymers for wireless cell stimulation. The presentation covered both the construction of bipolar electrochemical devices and the selection of conducting polymers, as well as an in-depth study of the prospects and importance of bipolar electrochemistry for cell stimulation. In addition, Prof. Chen introduced some knowledge about the construction of 3D printing devices to the audience. Everyone was eager to ask questions and Prof. Chen answered them patiently in turn, which made everyone gain a lot.
