Prof. Peng Huaxin, National "Thousand-Talent Program" professor, founded the Institute for Composites Science Innovation with Professor Hong Zhanglian and Professor Wang Xiaoxiang. The institute collaborated with the State Key Laboratory of Silicon Materials, the Center of Electron Microscopy, the National Mechanics Experimental Demonstration Center of Zhejiang University and other platforms. The institute focuses on structural and functional integration of multifunctional composite materials. At present, the main research directions include the multifunctional composite structures and materials, ceramic thermal insulation composites, functional biomimetic composites, nanocomposites, composite mechanics and multi-field couplings, etc..
After one-year development, there are 7 professors in the research core team, as well as two associate professors, 5 postdoctoral, 30+ postgraduate students, and 3 overseas adjunct experts.
After the ceremony, InCSI Director Peng Huaxin expressed his gratitude to the officals, staff members and students who supported the development of the Insituteand showed the participants a precious gift from his PhD supervisor, Prof. Du Shanyi. It is an inscription says “The impregnable pass and endless road are as solid as iron，now firmly start of the long march over again”.
