Invited by Prof. Binmeng Chen, Prof. Yue-E Miao (繆月娥) from Donghua University, China, visited IAPME from 07 to 08 Jan. 2026. Prof. Yue-E Miao is now a Professor at College of Materials Science and Engineering, Donghua University and Prof. Miao delivered a seminar titled “Highly Oriented Ceramic Nanofiber-Integrated Polymer Composites Solid Electrolytes”.
She received her BS degree from Southeast University and PhD degree from Fudan University. During 2013-2014, she was a joint-training PhD candidate at Nanyang Technological University. She has published over 50 research papers as the corresponding author in journals such as Angewandte Chemie and led over 10 research projects including National Excellent Youth Science Fund of China. She now serves as the Academic Editor of Advanced Fiber Materials, and Young Editorial Board Member of Composites Communications and eScience. Her research interests mainly focus on design and construction of functional polymer nanofiber composite materials to impart new structure-to-function properties in electrochemical energy storage applications.
Her talk focused on the nanofiber-integrated polymer composite materials since it combines advantages of the high porosity and well-connected pore channels of nanofibers with the flexibility and easy processing of polymer materials demonstrate multi functions and diverse applications. Prof. Miao begin with the microstructure design of highly oriented ceramic nanofibers by involving the external field-assisted electrospinning strategy. Furthermore, the organic-inorganic interfacial interactions are precisely engineered by in-situ polymerization or physical assemblies to accelerate the ion-selectively transport kinetics at the interface.
During the visiting, Prof. Miao had a lab tour of IAPME. She has had close discussions with us and expressed deep impression on IAPME’s research achievements.
