Recently, by employing a state-of-the-art in situ micromechanical testing technology, Prof. Shan’s research team from CAMP-Nano, for the first time, quantitatively measured the mechanical properties of haze particles systemically. Research evidence reveled that a significant fraction of haze particles are strong enough to generate abrasive damage on most industrial used alloys and therefore researchers call for appropriate preventive measures to guard against the damage from haze, such as to assemble the precision parts in clean room, to seal the gap between sliding parts and to add special filter for air “breathing” engines”. The corresponding research paper was published online first in SCIENCE CHINA Technological Sciences on October 8th, 2015 with the title of “In situ study of the mechanical properties of airborne haze particles” and related content was selected and to be shown on the journal cover.

The findings are clean and novel and are expected to spark broad interests in haze-affected countries, especially those in precision industries.
