China Vitae

Biography

Guo Jingkun, male, Han nationality, is a native of Xinhui, Guangdong Province. He graduated from Fudan University in 1958.

During the 1960s, Guo Jingkun studied the metal-ceramic seal and its application in an electric vacuum field. While trying to understand the properties of the ceramic-metal seal, he studied the active-Mo-Mn metallizing method, which was suitable for sealing with various oxide ceramics and even the sealing between sapphire crystal and metal, as well as the Pt metallizing method to be applied under the acid and alkali environments.

Since the 1970s, he has been studying the strengthening and toughening of ceramic materials and developed fiber enhanced ceramic composites, which have been employed in space technology in China.

During the late 1980s, Guo studied the multi-phase composed ceramics and materials for ceramic-engines and studied the design of ceramic materials. His interest turned to nanometer ceramics in the 1990s. Guo is currently researching high performance ceramics and superfine microstructures. He also participated in, and organized the study and development of, the first diesel engine using a number of ceramics materials available in China.
