Research

1.Low dimensional carbon materials-based electro-mechanical mechanism and apparatus.In the last two decade years, the mechanical, electromagnetic properties and the life science related studies and applications of the low dimensional carbon materials including carbon nanotubes, graphene and fullerene have attracted considerable attention. Also, the properties of the low dimensional carbon materials based fluidic systems were of great research interests. We devoted to the electro-mechanical coupling fluid-solid interaction mechanism, and further pay close attention to the low dimensional carbon materials based fluid power transmission nano-devices. The theoretical analysis framework, which can analyze the nano-structure of the confined fluids, fluid-solid interaction, the mechanical behaviors of the low dimensional carbon materials of the fluid transmission devices, is constructed. The achievement of this research interestis helpful to the design and manufacture of the fluidicnano-apparatus. Some interesting research is presented as follows.

2.Multi-fields coupled flow and boundary properties at solid-fluid interfaces. The fluid flows confined in nanochannels usually possess relatively larger Knudsen numbers. The breakdown of the continuum at nanoscale leads to uncertainties of the governing constitutive laws. Therefore, it is desirable to look for an alternative approach for conducting continuum models that suitable for fluid flows confined in nanochannels.Computational modeling and simulation can provide an effective predictive capability for flow properties of the confined fluids in micro/nanoscales. Considering the boundary slip at the fluid-solid interface, the research interest is the motion behaviors of fluids including nanofluid confined in nanochannels to couple the atomistic regime to continuum. Especially, the boundary slip and interfacial friction at the solid-liquid interfaces is a key issue for the nanoscaled flows or the droplets on the textured surfaces and some special hydrophilic or hydrophobic materials.

3. Mechanical property of carbon nanotube-polymer composite and the design of soft robot. The continuous deformation and infinite number of degrees of freedom are salient features of soft robot, which can greatly improve their environment adaptability. However, at present, the research of soft robot is still in the primary stage, several challenges include the soft materials and their characterization, the deforming actuation methods and the accuracy control methods needs to be solved.The research interests include the interfacial behavior and the load transfer between carbon nanotube and polymer using molecular dynamicssimulations.To address this, the structural design, deformation constitutive model, variable stiffness mechanism, large deformation actuation mechanism and the control method of the deformation motion of the CNT conductive superelastic soft robot are to be studied.
