Abstract: | Made in China 2025 is a directive Master Action Plan for the development of the country and restructuring of the manufacturing sector, in which advanced materials and systems integration design are two of the Plan’s core elements. How to get rid of the image of being “world’s factory” to become the “world’s manufacturing power”? To grow high value-added market share is a key strategy, and nanotechnology can help to achieve this. This presentation will feature how the application of structural nanomaterials on robotics system, new energy-saving and energy storage system is able to contribute to the sustainable development of mankind. The mechanisms of materials formation with different nano-structures by high efficient physical routes will firstly be reported by illustrating our latest findings / research progress on the nanomaterials with high strength and high ductility, nanostructure materials with gradient structure, hierarchical nano-twinned materials, materials with multiphase embedded nanostructures, etc. The feasibility of applying new nanomaterials on various advanced energy systems, such as wind power plant, next generation of nuclear plant and concentrated solar energy, and ocean thermal energy conversion will be discussed. The application of new nanomaterials on the newly designed light-weight automotive parts will be introduced. Lastly, I will report the research and development process of supra-nano-dual-phase glass-crystal alloy film structure (<10nm) that recently published in Nature as a cover story, discuss its role in Made in China 2025; and share my view on the development of multi-dimensional (N>3) printing and bio-mimicking structural nanomaterials integrated in advanced mechanical systems. |
