1. Introduction
Advanced Powder Materials Innovation Team of KUST, founded in 2010, has undertaken the innovation team construction tasks of Yunnan Provincial Department of Education and Yunnan Provincial Department of science and technology in 2012 and 2016, respectively. Under the leadership of Prof. Jianhong Yi, the whole team keeps positive attitude and exploring new ideas, and has made significant progress in team and platform construction. There are now 19 team members, 17 of whom are doctors, 6 of whom are professors and 10 of whom are associate professors. Through talent introduction policy, doctor recruitment and talent cultivation, the personnel strength of the team has greatly enhanced and the age structure, professional title structure and academic structure are more rational. The team has established rational and feasible laboratory management method, and has created a team culture and atmosphere of unity, progressive, objectivity and innovation. By optimizing and integrating the existing experimental resources, the team has established the equipment platform according to the development requirement. A platform has been constructed for powder preparation, powder compaction and sintering, composite preparation and performance test.
2. Research direction and achievement
The team focused on preparation and treatment of special powders, advanced metal matrix composites, special magnetic materials and ultra-fine grained hard alloys in recent years. The team since its inception, has trained more than 150 doctors and postgraduates, and has published more than 300 academic papers, more than 100 of which are catalogued by SCI and EI. The team has applied for more than 50 patents, nearly 30 of which has been authorized. The team has undertaken 15 state-level projects, 8 provincial-level projects, and has won a provincial-level award.
3. Achievements transformation
The team emphasizes on the scientific research, meanwhile a series of achievements have been gained through combination of “production, teaching and research” and transformation and application of scientific research results. By carrying out technical and product development cooperation with a number of enterprises, a big achievement has been adopted and the economic benefit reached 10 million yuan.
In the meantime, considering the disciplinary development and the requirements of the projects undertaken by the team, the special powder materials and composite materials have been identified as the key research directions which have substantial research contents and could enrich the connotation of the subject. In addition, the team has constructed the corresponding discipline platform, and strengthening the team construction through related talent projects and major projects. Combined with the development of the industry, a long-term university-enterprise cooperation mechanism has been established and perfected.
