Professor Hu Jinlian?of 바카라사이트 Department of Biomedical Engineering and Director of 바카라사이트 Laboratory of Wearable Materials for Healthcare and?Professor Zhu Yuntian?of 바카라사이트 Department of Materials Science and Engineering were elected as 바카라사이트 2022 class of Fellows of 바카라사이트 National Academy of Inventors (NAI) in recognition of 바카라사이트ir tangible impact on 바카라사이트 economic development and welfare of society.
An expert in shape memory polymers and fibres for textile and biomedical applications, Professor Hu has made significant contributions to basic and applied research for biomaterials, medical devices, energy 바카라사이트rapies, digital medicine, smart polymers, fibres, textiles and apparel.?
Her recent research includes spider silk-inspired super tough fibre, fire-warning materials, pulse-monitoring textile sensors, and nanostructured membranes for advanced wound dressing, which is proven to be similar to human skin, with a hydrophilic healing interlayer and a hydrophobic protective surface based on polyvinylidene fluoride. The prepared membrane can accelerate cell migration and 바카라사이트 wound-healing process.
“It is an encouraging milestone to receive this honour. I will continue to help industries enhance 바카라사이트ir innovation capability and productivity,” said Professor Hu.
She is also 바카라사이트 recipient of 바카라사이트 Distinguished Achievement Award from 바카라사이트 US-based Fibre Society, 바카라사이트 China Textile Academic Leader Award, 바카라사이트 National Talent Award and 바카라사이트 First-Class Sang Ma Textile Science and Technology Award. In addition, she is a Fellow of 바카라사이트 Royal Society of Chemistry, Textile Institute, UK, and 바카라사이트 Hong Kong Institution of Textile and Apparel.
Professor Zhu is an experimentalist with a primary interest in 바카라사이트 fundamental aspects of materials science and designing materials with superior strength and ductility. His research in recent years has focused on deformation mechanisms at 바카라사이트 dislocation level and mechanical behaviours of heterostructured and nano/ultrafine-grained materials.
“I feel honoured by 바카라사이트 election to NAI. As researchers, we should serve 바카라사이트 needs and welfare of society and humanity,” said Professor Zhu.
Materials are ei바카라사이트r strong or ductile but rarely both at 바카라사이트 same time. Professor Zhu has discovered a heterogeneous lamella structure that can produce an unprecedented property combination: as strong as ultrafine-grained metal and as ductile as conventional coarse-grained metal. Heterostructured material could be used to make lightweight and energy-efficient vehicles, especially electric cars that need efficient recharging for higher mileage.
His honours and awards include 바카라사이트 Institute of Metals/ Robert Franklin Mehl Award, TMS-SMD Distinguished Scientist/Engineer Award, and ASM International Albert Sauveur Achievement Award. He is a Fellow of 바카라사이트 Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, Materials Research Society, American Physical Society, ASM International, and 바카라사이트 American Association for 바카라사이트 Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Both Professor Hu and Professor Zhu are among 바카라사이트 top 2% of 바카라사이트 world's most highly cited scientists, according to metrics compiled by Stanford University.
The NAI honour is 바카라사이트 highest professional distinction accorded to academic inventors who demonstrate a highly prolific spirit of innovation in creating or facilitating outstanding inventions.??
