Recently, Jiang’s group at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the thermoelectric performance for several candidates by a combination of first-principles calculations and zone-melting method.

Recently, the advanced polymer processing group from Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIMTE, CAS) has made a series of progresses on continuous extrusion foaming and polymer processing with the polymer processing platform using scCO2, a self-designed pilot-scale extrusion system built in 2007.

Wenge Zheng in Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIMTE, CAS), has devoted great effort to the fabrication of graphene-based materials forEMI shieldingover the past few years.

The bio-based polymeric materials research group led by Professor Jin Zhu and Associate Professor Haining Na has devoted great effort to the toughening of PLA over the past few years. 

Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering cooperated with Shenzhen Institute of Peking University, made a research progress on CFRTP/metal laser joining.The mathematical model was established to calculate the distribution of temperature, and the width, depth, thermal defect of the joint were predicted.
