Introduction：Prof. Qing Wang received his doctoral degree from the Tongji University for a work on interface strength of fiber reinforced composites in 1996. He became in 1998 a full Professor at the Shandong University of Technology, China. In 2000, he joined National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan. In 2014 he moved to Shandong University of Science and Technology, China, as Taishan Distiguished Professor. In 2017 he served as the Dean of the department of Materials Sci Eng. Now he works there as the Director of Institute of Nanoengineering. Prof. Qing Wang' main area of research is fabrication of advanced functional materials and its application in civil engineering. This involves the development of new methods for structural monitoring and maintenance.

Speech Title: Study of superhydrophobic micro/nano functional materials in civil engineering

Abstract: With the implementation of the marine potestatem strategy, a large number of marine projects have emerged, and the implementation of the projects cannot be separated from the use of a large amount of concrete. However, due to the hydrophilicity of concrete, it is easy to be penetrated by seawater when it is in marine environment, which may deteriorate its performance, reduce its durability and even cause serious accidents. In addition, the corrosive ions in seawater may penetrate into concrete along with seawater, resulting in the damage of concrete structures and the corrosion of the internal steel reinforcement. Therefore, giving concrete with superhydrophobicity can reduce the penetration of seawater into the concrete, improve the corrosion resistance of concrete, and reduce the occurrence of marine corrosion. It is of great significance for ensuring the safety and reliability of marine engineering, reducing the occurrence of major disasters, prolonging the service life of marine buildings and structures, and accelerating economic development and environmental protection. In this talk, the superhydrophobicity with micro/nano structures was studied. The effects of experimental parameters and external loading, including stretching, cyclic bending and impact, on the superhydrophobicity with micro/nano structures were explored. The anti-corrosion and waterproof properties of superhydrophobicity with micro/nano structures were investigated. The applications of superhydrophobicity with micro/nano structures in self-cleaning, waterproof and anticorrosion of concrete were explored.
