Introduction

The Greater Bay Joint Division aims to become a base in the greater Bay area for materials research, talent training and strategic research in China. The activities include clarifying the laws and connotations of material science fundamentally, finding new materials and new methods along with their wide applications in various fields and industries, undertaking basic research on cutting-edge materials and technologies needed for major national projects and economic construction, promoting the development of materials science and technology and the application of materials comprehensively. Specific research interests involve but are not limited to design and integration of new structural materials, surface and prestressed engineering with advanced design, research and application of new multistable plate shells?(" transformers "), additive manufacturing materials and process, nanomaterials and integration etc.
