Personal profile

Wenwen Zhang, PhD candidate at the national synchrotron radiation laboratory, university of science and technology of China. 

Research direction

The study on the crystallization process and mechanical behavior of PET materials by the technology of synchrotron radiation.

Study and work experience

2013-2017, college of mechanical and electrical engineering, China university of mining and technology. Bachelor of engineering degree;

2017-present, PhD candidate, national synchrotron radiation laboratory, university of science and technology of China;

Main research work

At present, the crystallization, phase transition and other physical changes in the process of film processing were investigated by in-situ synchrotron radiation. With poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) as the research object, combined with the existing excellent time and space resolution of synchrotron radiation technology, tensile rheological device, thermal analysis technology such as DSC, TGA, PET stretch induced crystallization behavior of water plasticizing system, the cold crystallization behavior after biaxial stretching, the growth characteristics after pre-orientation of PET were investigated. Besides, we are also engaged in the production development of high performance unidirectional, bidirectional and oblique stretched PET films.
