报告人简介：
童立生教授（Li-Sheng Turng）是聚合物成型加工工程领域的国际著名专家，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校教授，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校聚合物工程中心主任、探索研究院跨学科团队领导人，同时兼任国际塑料工程师协会注射成型分会主任。研究领域主要集中在新型加工技术及新材料等方面，包括注射成型、微孔注射成型、纳米纤维素复合材料、生物基聚合物、组织工程支架、聚合物加工数值模拟等领域。先后获得了美国自然基金大型研究装备奖、美国自然基金学术项目奖、威斯康星创新和经济发展研究项目奖、威斯康星校友基金加速计划奖、塑料工程师协会注塑成型分会2011年度工程师奖；自2000年以来，发表学术论文300余篇。
Professor Lih-Sheng (Tom) Turng received his B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National Taiwan University, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Cornell University. He worked in industry developing advanced simulation software for 10 years before joining the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2000. His research encompasses novel processes, new materials, and advanced analysis on materials processing. He has been working in the area of injection molding and microcellular injection molding, and has extended his research into nanocomposites, bio-based polymers, nanocellulose nanocomposites, tissue engineering scaffolds, and digital design and manufacturing. He has received numerous grants and awards, including the National Science Foundation (NSF) Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Award, NSF Academic Program Awards, an Industrial Consortium, Wisconsin Innovation & Economic Development Research Program awards, Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) Accelerator Program awards, and Department of Defense (DOD) Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation (DMDI) grant. Professor Turng is the Co-Director of the Polymer Engineering Center at UW-Madison, a Fellow member of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the recipient of the 2011 Engineer of the Year award from the SPE Injection Molding Division, and an Honored Service Member of the SPE. Professor Turng has published nearly 300 peer-reviewed technical papers since joining UW-Madison in 2000 and has authored or edited many books, book chapters, patents, conference proceedings, and special issue journals. He has served as the Chair of the Canadian NSERC Network for Innovative Plastic Materials and Manufacturing Processes (NIPMMP) as well as the editorial boards of a variety of international journals and the Board of Directors of the Injection Molding Division of SPE. Professor Turng has recently been selected to lead an interdisciplinary team at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (WID) to develop innovative tissue engineering scaffolds that restore, maintain, or improve the function of diseased or damaged human tissues. He is also the University of Wisconsin–Madison Principal Investigator for the DOD DMDI project, one of the President Obama’s National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) institutes.
报告内容简介：
In light of the different and broad range of interests of the audience, this presentation will begin with an introduction to the University of Wisconsin–Madison, the flagship campus of the University of Wisconsin System and one of the best public universities in the U.S., the Polymer Engineering Center, and the $210M Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery (WID). Then, the seminar will provide a walk-through of some of the ongoing research projects in Turng’s group and the Bio-nanocomposites for Tissue Engineering Scaffolds (BIONATES) research theme on microcellular injection molding, bio-based polymer nanocomposites, and tissue engineering. Topics include (1) a novel method of producing lightweight microcellular injection molded parts with improved ductility and toughness, (2) using short cellulose nanofibrils (SCNF) as reinforcement for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers, and (3) mass production of porous, biodegradable polymer constructs with tunable mechanical properties that are naturally suitable for tissue engineering scaffold applications.
