On October 15, 2019, Prof. Zhang and his party were invited to Xi'an to participate in the 2019 National Polymer Academic Paper Conference. The conference was sponsored by the Polymer Subject Committee of the Chinese Chemical Society and undertaken by Northwestern Polytechnical University. The National Polymer Academic Papers Conference started in 1954 and is held every two years. It is a grand event in the polymer industry in China. This conference took the important role of polymer technology in the new era of national economy and society as the breakthrough point, and concentrated on displaying the research results and development trends in the field of polymer science and materials in my country in recent years. It is a technology for research and development in this field. , Education, industrial workers and young students provide a broad platform for academic and technical exchanges, and promote the sustainable development and innovation of my country’s polymer disciplines.

Prof. Zhang gave a report entitled "Graphene-based Aerogels: Design, Synthesis & Performance"

Associate professor Jin Wang gave a report titled "Construction of Lightweight and High-Strength Supramolecular Bulk Materials-Self-assembly Regulation of Structure and Function"

Jing Lyu later gave a report entitled "Design and Preparation of Aerogel/Phase Change Composite Film and Research on Infrared Stealth Performance"

Student Xin Li gave a report titled "Design, Synthesis and Performance Research of Fluorine-free Superhydrophobic Polyimide Aerogels"

Student Zengwei Liu made a poster titled "Kevlar aerogel fibers for thermal insulation in harsh environments"
