Welcome Professor Shutao Wang to visit!

On November 4, 2023, at the invitation of Associate Professor Kai Xiao, Professor Shutao Wang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Deputy Director of the Institute of Physical and Chemical Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Deputy Director of the Key Laboratory of Biomimetic Materials and Interface Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, visited our department and gave a report entitled "Biomimetic Adhesive Interface Materials".

Report Summary:

Biological interface adhesion is one of the cutting-edge hotspots in interface chemistry research, which not only helps us understand the mysteries of life, but also has important significance for the development of new functional interface materials and related technologies. Learn from nature and continuously provide new principles and models for the development of new materials. In recent years, we have studied several special adhesion phenomena on biological interfaces and developed a series of biomimetic adhesive controllable interface materials inspired by this. 1) Revealed that the ultra slow moisture absorption movement of the pine tower is driven by the spring/square (○/□) heterostructure in the vascular bundle, corrected the traditional cognitive mechanism driven by the dual layer structure of vascular bundle and stone cell tissue, and developed a software driver with ultra slow movement; 2) Propose a collaborative immune inspired interface recognition concept of structural matching and molecular recognition, and construct a series of immune inspired CTC capture chips to solve the low PSA gray area diagnosis rate of prostate cancer, increasing it from 58% to 91.7%; Interfacial lotion polymerization method was proposed, and a series of bionic heterogeneous microspheres with controllable shape (from Janus to porous) and controllable surface chemistry were constructed to achieve efficient separation of cells, proteins, glycopeptides, dyes, etc; 3) The surface infiltration induced transfer strategy is proposed to achieve high-precision gel surface patterning from 2D to 3D, and from macro to micro; Propose an integrated design of olfactory receptor adhesive sensing to solve the problem of adhesion between the sensing unit and the substrate; 4) Proposed a self pumping model for biological fluids, developed controllable interface materials for biological fluid adhesion, and promoted the upgrading and replacement of functional fabrics and wound healing dressings.

Professor Shutao Wang's brilliant report left a deep impression on everyone. After the meeting, the students asked Professor Wang for help on the classic problems they encountered in their own projects. Professor Wang patiently answered them, which greatly benefited the teachers and students present.
