6月10日，我校“飞天”学者讲座教授，美国阿克伦大学巩雄先生在新校区的403多媒体教室作了题为" A polymer scientist meets an inorganic chemist: a "dual" journey at northwest normal nuivesity" 的学术报告。437必赢会员中心教师、研究生100余人参加了报告会。

巩雄教授介绍了其实验室在导电高分子聚合物材料制备方面所取得部分成果，如通过应用两种添加剂影响高分子材料主链、侧链的结构以及其晶型化，从而提高用其制备的聚合物太阳能电池性能。同时巩雄教授介绍了本人求学经历，如何走上有机聚合物太阳能电池研发之路，以及其导师诺贝尔奖获得者艾伦·黑格尔教授的部分故事，勉励广大“学弟学妹”树立正确的人生观，价值观，勤奋努力，勇于探索，勇于创新实现自己的理想。

报告结束后，巩雄教授对现场老师及学生提出的问题进行了解答。
