Main work

Prof. Zhang Yahui has researched and developed the process foundation theory and technology for high-performance recombinant materials, focusing on elucidating the aging and degradation mechanisms. He has established a coordinated control theory for recombinant materials and has developed manufacturing techniques that enhance them through topological design and interface regulation. His work involves the integration of multiple fields including materials science, nanotechnology and computational simulation. He has led the development of key equipment and the promotion of industrialization and commercialization of products.

He has led and undertaken more than 10 national and provincial/ministerial-level projects, including general projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, sub-projects of the National Key R&D Programs of the 13th Five-Year Plan and 14th Five-Year Plan, and Forestry Science and Technology Promotion projects.

He has published approximately 40 papers as the first author or corresponding author in academic journals including the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, npj Materials Degradation, and Scientia Silvae Sinicae.

As the main contributor, Prof. Zhang Yahui has obtained 33 achievements, participated in the formulation of 9 national and industry standards, authorized 12 national invention patents, and promoted patents in 10 enterprises across five provinces (Jiangsu, Guangxi, Fujian, etc.). Completed key engineering product applications, including Beijing Qianmen Courtyard, Guozijian Street, White Pagoda Temple Palace Gate, and the History Museum of the Chinese Academy of Forestry. Totally finished the transformation of technology achievement more than 7 million yuan and drove the direct economic benefits of 200 million yuan for enterprises.
