报告摘要：

A shape memory polymer traditionally refers to a polymer that can memorize one temporary shape and recover to its permanent shape upon exposure to an external stimulus. Although this basic concept has been known for at least half a century, significant advances in the last five years have challenged such a conventional view. In this talk, I will give an overview of my research activities on this subject, with particular emphasis on how the shape memory polymer field has evolved scientifically (e.g. discovery of tunable multi-shape memory effect and temperature memory effect) and what the progress means for practical applications (e.g. reversible adhesives, self-healing surfaces, structural colors, and micro-optics).

报告人简介：

Tao Xie (谢涛) is currently a chair professor (创新人才计划创新长期) in the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering at Zhejiang University. He obtained his BS and MS degrees in Polymer Chemistry from Zhejiang University in 1993 and 1996, respectively. From University of Massachusetts at Amherst, he received his Ph.D. in Polymer Science & Engineering in 2001 and was a recipient of the Omnova Solution award for his research work there. He had since worked at the General Motors Global Research Lab (2001-2012) and HRL Laboratories (2012-2013) before his permanent move back to China in July 2013. His recent work has been published in Nature, Adv. Mater., and Adv. Func. Mater., and highlighted by various news media including MIT Tech Review, C&EN, MRS Materials360, Chemistry world, and Science daily. He is the inventor of over 70 patents and his recent awards include 2013 R&D 100 award, 2011 technologies that could change the way you manufacture, and 2011 Campbell award.
