5. General Information:
The main research fields of the academic team are the design, preparation process, evaluation of physical and chemical properties and safety evaluation of nuclear shielding materials. Based on the characteristics of rich non-ferrous metal resources in Yunnan Province, we carry out the research to solve the outstanding problems in the development of nuclear reactor nuclear radiation by using the fundamental theories of materials science and engineering. Our research can promote the development of material science and engineering, and also can advance the extension of industry chain and the technology innovation for traditional non-ferrous industry, develop novel nuclear radiation shielding materials. Therefore, Kunming University of Science and Technology can form comparative advantage in the development and utilization of new materials. With the support of some national natural science funds, our team has developed the lead based nuclear shielding materials with high strength and shielding effects. Our team has hosted 8 national and provincial scientific research projects, published more than 70 papers in journals including more than 50 SCI and EI, and applied 8 invention patents.
