报告人简介：

Dr Mokarram Hossain is Associate Professor at theZienkiewicz Institute (ZI) for Modelling, Data, and AI in Swansea University.The ZI is considered as the World-leading Centre of Excellence in computationalmodelling for the last five decades. After completing his Bachelor inBangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dr Hossain obtainedMasters in Computational Engineering (2005) from Technical University ofBraunschweig, Germany. He obtained a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (2010) fromUniversity of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. He moved to the UK, at first inNorthumbria University as a Lecturer in 2015, then to Swansea University as aSenior Lecturer in 2017.  Dr Hossain’sresearch interests lie in the wide and interdisciplinary areas of softpolymeric and active multifunctional materials ranging from material synthesis,experimental study to computational modelling. He has been active in the areasof biological tissue modelling and polymeric material characterisations underthermo-electro-magneto-mechanical loads. He has numerous fundamental andcutting-edge contributions in the areas of polymer curing modelling,electro-active, magneto-active polymers, hydrogel experiments and modelling. Hehas obtained several research grants including from UK Research Council(EPSRC), Royal Society and industries for energy harvesting, soft materialcharacterisations using electro-active/ magneto-active polymers. Dr Hossainobtained the best Postdoc Paper Prize from the UK Association for ComputationalMechanics (UKACM). He published more than 120 peer-reviewed journal papers inmany leading journals across disciplines of materials, mechanics, andcomputations.

报告摘要：

Soft matter such as multi-functional rubber-likematerials and active hydrogels gain unprecedented attention in recent yearsthanks to their wide-spread potential applications in soft robotics to drugdelivery in healthcare sectors. While applications of soft matter areincreasing exponentially, robust synthesis techniques and appropriateexperimental set-ups of these complex materials are paramount. Experimentalcharacterisations of soft matter are multi-facets.  On the one hand, soft materials have complexmechanical and physical characteristics such as extreme deformations, strainand time-dependence, stress-softening, degradations, temperature andenvironment sensitivity. One the other hand, sample preparations frommaterials, representations and fixations within experimental set-ups; dataextraction and monitoring etc face challenges due to their finite deformationsand intricate micro-mechanical structures. In this talk, several challenges inthe case of experimental characterisations of soft polymers will be presentedfollowed by their potential solutions that have been identified in our lab overthe last few years.

近年来，多功能类橡胶材料和活性水凝胶等软物质，因其在软体机器人、医疗健康领域的药物输送等方面的广泛潜在应用而受到了前所未有的关注。由于软物质的应用呈指数级增长，针对这些复杂材料的可靠合成技术和合适的实验装置至关重要。软物质的实验表征涉及多个方面。一方面，软材料具有复杂的力学和物理特性，例如极端变形、应变和时间依赖性、应力软化、降解以及对温度和环境的敏感性。另一方面，由于其大变形和复杂的微观力学结构，材料的样品制备、样品在实验装置中的定位、数据提取和监测等方面都面临挑战。本次报告将介绍软聚合物实验表征中存在的若干挑战，以及我们实验室的解决方案。
