 Introduction to the State Key Laboratory of New Ceramics and Fine Technology

 Relying on Tsinghua University, the State Key Laboratory of New Ceramics and Fine Technology is committed to the development of new ceramic science and technology, and exploring the discipline frontier in the field of new materials. The predecessor of the laboratory, the discipline of Inorganic nonmetallic Materials of Tsinghua University, was rated as a key discipline in 1987. In 1988, it was listed as the key discipline development project of the World Bank loan. In 1991, the state Key Laboratory of “New Ceramics and Fine Technology” was built, which was officially opened to the outside world through the national acceptance in 1995. The main research interests of the laboratory include: information functional ceramic materials, functional composite ceramic materials, high-performance structural ceramic materials, advanced preparation technology of ceramic materials, energy, environment and bioceramic materials, etc.

 The laboratory now has 64 researchers, including 28 professors, 29 associate professors and 2 assistant professors. There are 4 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 8 national scholars, 6 Youqing, 6 Changjiang Scholars and 2 young Cheungkong Scholars. One innovation research team of the Ministry of Education and one innovation research group of the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

 Over the years, the laboratory has focused on the forefront of scientific development in the field of new ceramic materials, the major needs in the national economic development and the national key scientific research tasks, carried out in-depth and basic research on the application of new ceramic materials and fine technology, and successfully developed a series of new ceramic materials and new technologies that have great influence at home and abroad. In transparent alumina ceramics and high pressure sodium lamp, composite silicon nitride ceramic tool, high performance iron voltage electric ceramics and low burning technology, ceramic colloidal forming technology, high performance low temperature sintering soft magnet ferrite, nano bone repair materials, ceramic superstructure materials, high performance lithium ion battery materials, and the structure and performance of composite material correlation has made many major achievements, has won the national science congress, national technological invention and national natural science awards and other national science and technology awards. Through more than 20 years of construction and development, the laboratory has been gradually built into an important scientific research and talent training base in the field of new ceramic materials in China. In the state Key Laboratory evaluation in the field of Materials organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology, it was rated as excellent Laboratory in the last two (2013 and 2018).

Laboratory always adhere to the “open, flow, joint, competition” principle, extensive academic exchanges and cooperation, with domestic and foreign universities, research institutions and enterprises to establish good cooperation relations of science and technology, gradually established the “project-talent-base” the combination of international science and technology cooperation mode, laboratory by Beijing science and technology commission as “Beijing high technology ceramic materials and technology international cooperation base”, “advanced functional materials international joint research center” by the Ministry of Science and Technology as the national international science and technology cooperation base.

 Our metallized ceramics laboratory

Compared with the new ceramics and fine technology national laboratory, our establishment of dust-free laboratory, we are still in the primary small laboratory, used in new ceramics and fine process (metallized ceramics) research, relative to the national laboratory, our factory focus on the actual and output, function application as the guidance. Pay attention to the environmental requirements of metallized ceramics, from cleanliness, fresh exhaust supply, and antistatic floor strict test, to build specialized new metallized ceramics research and use to provide first-class environment, compared to the national laboratory, we just a small branch, focus on our factory existing product research and development and promotion. We will take the National Laboratory of New Ceramics and Fine Technology as an example to learn from, and make continuous progress.
