Research Background Limitations of ConcreteOrdinary concrete is prone to cracking and has poor ductility; traditional reinforced concrete faces issues such as insufficient bonding with the matrix and limited freedom of shape. Potential of Steel Fiber ConcreteSteel fibers can enhance the crack resistance of concrete, but randomly distributed fibers cannot fully exert their reinforcing effect. Shortcomings … Read more
With the rapid development of 3D printing technology, photopolymers have become important materials for manufacturing complex structures. However, traditional photopolymers (such as acrylates) form irreversible C-C bond networks after curing, making them difficult to recycle and leading to material waste and environmental pollution. In a study published in 2025 in Science by Professor Tao Xie … Read more
The specific strength of magnesium alloys is higher than that of aluminum alloys. In the aerospace field, magnesium alloys can be used to replace aluminum alloys in the manufacture of components such as aircraft seats, floors, hatches, and structural parts of spacecraft, which can make the aircraft lighter while ensuring structural strength. In our country … Read more
