Hong Kong Polytechnic University get $9 million nanotechnology research grant

6 April 2009

A fund of $ 9 million has been granted to the Hong Kong Polytechnic University for conducting research on theoretical and technical application of nanostructured material. The grant has been awarded by Research Grants Council (RGC) and the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF).

The Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF) will be collaborative project with “Nano and Advanced Materials Institute Ltd.” (NAMI) and the project will engage in development of layered nanostructure of metallic plates and metallic sheets for structural applications. Two industry partners and both Fortune 500 companies namely Baosteel Group Company, China and European Aeronautics Defence and Space Company will also support the research.

The other fund granted by RGC will be used for collaborative research and establishing theories. Both the projects will lead by Prof. Lu Jian, Head Department of Mechanical Engineering. Prof J. Lu has done extensive research in broad areas including material science, mechanics, mechanical engineering, material science and nanoscience. He is also the recipient of many prestigious awards and honors for his excellent contribution to the science and technology. He was awarded “The French Knight Order of National Merit” in the year 2006 and in 2007; he received Gold Medal and a special prize at Brussels Eureka Expo.

Under the guidance of Prof. J. Lu and his collaborator Prof. K. Lu, the work on nano-scale structure material is continuously in progress at Hong Kong Polytechnic University since long back. The current study will enhance the understanding of the nanostructured material that can find applications in steel and aerospace industries and at the same it will ensure the leadership of the university in world map in the fast growing area of nanotechnology.
