Profile:

Dr. Wei Liu is currently working as a Professor at Dongguan University of Technology. He received his Ph.D. degree from Tsinghua University and spent 3 months at Stockholm University in Prof. James Zhiijian Shen’s group. He then spent 1 year at I IMR, Tohoku University as a JSPS fellow focusing on the subject of transparent ceramic and SPS. His research interests focus on in the fields of intelligent manufacturing (3D printing) of difficult-to-machine materials and their micro-nano components, the manufacture of difficult-to-machine cutting tools and their hard coatings, and intelligent manufacturing of superwetting bionic functionalized structural ceramics for ages.

Abstract：

Three core scientific research achievements based on the manufacturing method based on addition are introduced:

1. In view of the high hardness and brittleness of structural ceramics, all multinational companies in the world can't produce ceramic cutting tools with chip breaker grooves until now. Through intelligent manufacturing (3D printing), ceramic cutting tools with chip breaker grooves could be integrally formed, which realizes a breakthrough in the manufacturing of chip breaker grooves of ceramic tools and is internationally progressiveness;

2. We carried out the research on ceramic intelligent manufacturing (3D printing) earlier at home and abroad, and the series of papers on ceramic 3D printing were widely cited at home and abroad, including four papers that were cited more than 100 times by Google academically, and the relevant achievements were reported in full by the Japanese Science and Technology Department (JST, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Science and Technology of China);

3. A series of academic explorations and outstanding scientific research achievements have been made in the intelligent manufacturing of super-wetted biomimetic functionalized structural ceramics. On the scientific concept of "Bionic Super Infiltration", Academician Jiang Lei innovatively proposed the scientific method of "Bionic Super Infiltration". The method of fabricating self-assembly is applied in porous ceramics with super-wetting function, which achieves functionalization while maintaining high porosity and extremely high strength, and proposes self-assembly in porous ceramics with connected pores that is different from traditional ceramic molding methods. The "hand-in-hand" assembly strategy explains the lightweight and ultra-strength properties of the manufactured material. It is original and advanced to realize applications in industrial fields such as oil-water separation in extreme environments such as corrosion and manufacturing of intelligent porous ceramic microbeads.
