Prof. Xiaodong Zhou | High energy physics | Research Excellence Award 

East China University of Science and Technology | China 

Prof. Xiaodong Zhou is a Professor at the Chemical Engineering School, East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST), Shanghai, where he has been a core faculty member for more than two decades. He received his doctoral degree from Nanjing University of Science and Technology and has built a distinguished academic career focused on advanced composite materials, functional interfaces, and high-performance materials for extreme environments. His research integrates fundamental colloid and interface chemistry with applied materials engineering, addressing both scientific challenges and industrial needs. Prof. Zhou’s primary research interests encompass composite materials, biodegradable and bio-based materials, graphene and related nanomaterials, antistatic materials, and composite material interface engineering. A significant part of his work is dedicated to high-energy laser protection materials, including fibrous felt-reinforced aerogels, ceramic-based composites, and polymer matrix composites designed to withstand ultra-high laser power densities. Through innovative structural design and interfacial regulation, his group has achieved materials exhibiting high reflectivity, low absorptivity, and excellent ablation resistance under continuous-wave laser irradiation. In parallel, Prof. Zhou has made notable contributions to sustainable materials and biodegradable composites. His research on starch-, cellulose-, and lignin-based composites, as well as polylactic acid and poly(vinyl alcohol) systems, has advanced the understanding of interfacial modification, processing–structure–property relationships, and mechanical and thermal performance optimization. These studies provide valuable pathways for developing environmentally friendly materials with enhanced functionality. Prof. Zhou is also actively engaged in graphene and nanostructured material research, including high-yield liquid-phase production of high-quality graphene and the design of graphene-based aerogels and composites for energy, environmental, and protection applications. His work emphasizes scalable processing methods and the translation of nanomaterial advantages into macroscopic performance.
