Wood Nanotechnologies
木材纳米技术
ABSRACT
In this seminar, I will briefly discuss overall research in my research group and then devote most of the time to wood nanocellulose as a material platform for designing new structures to manipulate ion, phonon, photon, and mechanical properties, with end applications in lightweight, energy-efficient transportation (super wood, Nature 2018, 554, 224), energy-efficient green buildings (cooling wood, Science 2019, 364, 760), and high-performance membranes for the water-energy nexus (ionic wood, Nature Materials 2019, 18, 608). These technologies are being commercialized by Inventwood LLC (www.inventwood.com).
将简要介绍马里兰大学的先进可再生生物材料中心（Center for Advanced Renewable Biomaterials）的研究成果并着重介绍木材纳米纤维素作为一种材料平台用于设计新结构来操控离子、声子、光子和调控机械性能；及其在轻质材料、交通节能（超级木材, Nature 2018, 554, 224），绿色节能建筑（制冷木材, Science 2019, 364, 760），水能关联的高性能薄膜（离子木材, Nature Materials 2019, 18, 608）等领域的应用。上述木质材料平台技术正由Inventwood 公司 (www.inventwood.com)在进行商业化。
BIOGRAPHY
Liangbing Hu received his B.S. in physics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2002. He did his Ph.D. (2002-2007) at UCLA, focusing on carbon nanotube based nanoelectronics. Currently, he is a Herbert Rabin Distinguished Professor at University of Maryland College Park. His research group focuses on materials innovations, device integrations, and manufacturing in general, with ongoing research actives on wood nanotechnologies, 3000K for extreme materials, and beyond Li-ion batteries.
He has published over 370 research papers (including Science and Nature in 2018, 2019, 2020). Dr. Hu is the director of the Center for Materials Innovations at the University of Maryland College Park. He is also the Co-Founder of Inventwood LLC (www.inventwood.com) and of HighT-Tech LLC (www.hight-tech.com).
