The Conference Honorary Chair is Academician Huang Boyun of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The Conference Chair is Professor Xiong Xiang from Central South University, and the Executive Chair is Professor Zeng Yi from Central South University. The conference aims to advance academic innovation and collaborative breakthroughs in carbon-based composite materials, promote high-quality industrial development, and has attracted numerous experts and scholars from universities, research institutions, and enterprises across the country.

Professor Guo Fangwei delivers the keynote address

Professor Guo Fangwei, founder and chief scientist of Tianyi Quanan and from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was invited to attend the seminar and delivered a keynote presentation titled "HfZrSi Precursor Ceramic Thermal Insulation and Fire-Resistant Composite Coating Technology."

Professor Guo Fangwei graduated from the University of Manchester, UK, and currently serves as a Visiting Professor at ETH Zurich. He has dedicated his career to researching protective materials and coatings for extreme thermal environments. To date, he has led more than 20 national-level research projects, published over 110 SCI-indexed papers, secured 45 authorized patents, and received 7 provincial or ministerial-level science and technology innovation awards. His developed ZrSi precursor ceramic coating technology has been successfully applied since 2022 to the thermal protection systems of 46 Long March series launch vehicles in China, delivering significant engineering results.

In this report, Professor Guo Fangwei highlighted the latest advancements in HfZrSi precursor ceramic thermal insulation and fire-retardant composite coating technology. This technology produces high-performance ceramic coatings via precursor conversion, offering dual functionality of thermal insulation and fire resistance to provide reliable thermal protection for structural materials under extreme high-temperature conditions. It holds significant application potential in aerospace and national defense sectors.

Industry-academia-research collaboration drives technological innovation

This seminar established a key platform for academic exchange and industry-academia collaboration in the field of carbon-based composite materials. Professor Guo Fangwei's presentation drew widespread attention and sparked lively discussion among attending experts. Representatives from multiple research institutes and enterprises engaged in in-depth discussions on topics including the engineering application, performance evaluation, and joint development of precursor ceramic coating technologies.

As a high-tech enterprise specializing in protective materials for extreme thermal environments, Tianyi Quanan consistently prioritizes industry-academia-research collaborations. Professor Guo Fangwei's invitation to deliver the keynote address not only highlights the company's deep expertise in precursor ceramic coating technology but also lays a solid foundation for future technical cooperation and collaborative innovation with industry partners.

Continuously advancing thermal protection technology

In the future, Tianyi Quan'an will leverage the core technological advantages of Professor Guo Fangwei's team to accelerate the industrialization of HfZrSi precursor ceramic thermal insulation and fire-retardant composite coatings.
