Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
(SICCAS) and Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today announced the
opening of a joint research facility on the Chinese mainland. The
SICCAS-Corning facility is located in the Research and Development
Center of SICCAS in Jiading, Shanghai.
The facility will provide Corning with a research platform to
gain access to complementary expertise of SICCAS, China’s leading
research institute in the fields of materials science and
technology. Related SICCAS technologies can be applied in new
product development opportunities through collaboration with
Corning at this new laboratory.
Combining the outstanding knowledge and research capabilities of
SICCAS and Corning, the joint research facility will explore
technologies to support the development of future Corning products
that will address needs in China and worldwide. Through research in
thermoelectric technologies, the SICCAS-Corning facility is
exploring new high-performance materials that can aid in the
electrification of vehicles, enabling better vehicle fuel
efficiency and lower vehicle emissions.
As the world leader in specialty glass and ceramics, Corning has
been actively participating in China's development for 30 years.
Recently, Corning appointed a chief technology officer in
Shanghai.
“We are committed to working with local technology leaders to
create knowledge for future products for use in China and other
regions of the world,” said Dr. Mark Newhouse, chief technology
officer, Asia. “Corning’s continued success in China will be
supported by our sustained investment in research and development.
That investment is enhanced by partnerships such as the one we are
announcing today with SICCAS.”
“Over the past few decades, SICCAS has developed into a
comprehensive inorganic, non-metallic materials institute that is
capable of integrating fundamental research into technology
innovation and application,” said Professor Luo Hongjie, director
of SICCAS. “The joint laboratory collaboration will set up a
platform for both SICCAS and Corning to solve technical challenges
that will help accelerate the growth of China’s new energy
industry.”
Shi Erwei, vice president of Chinese Academy of Sciences, added,
“We expect that SICCAS will try its best to promote projects in the
joint facility. The Chinese Academy of Sciences will pay continuous
attention to the project and provide necessary support.”
A grand opening ceremony was held on June 28 at the new
facility. Officers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and customers
joined Guo Jingkun, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences
Board, Shi Erwei, Luo Hongjie, Mark Newhouse, and Shi Youchun,
director, Corning Research China, in the ceremony.
About SICCASShanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese
Academy of Sciences (www.sic.ac.cn), was originated from the
Engineering Institute of National Central Academy founded in 1928.
It is a world-class research institute in China that is dedicated
to the study on “Advanced Inorganic Materials Science and
Technology”. The institute’s main research fields cover structural
ceramics and composites, inorganic functional ceramics,
environmental and energy source materials, space materials and
engineering, the analysis, testing and characterization of
inorganic materials as well as the science and technology study of
Chinese ancient ceramics. To become one of the world’s best
research institutes, SICCAS is looking forward to achieving
innovative breakthroughs in the fields of materials science and
engineering together with its academic and industrial partners.
