The advanced functional coating developed by the research team of the Department of Materials Science of Fudan University has made progress in the application of major national projects

Recently, news came from China’s Mars exploration research team that the mars rover dust removal coating developed by the research team of the Advanced Coating Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education of Fudan University has been successfully applied on the Tianwen-1 rover Zhurong

On July 23, 2020, the "Tianwen-1" Mars probe developed by China was successfully launched from the Long March 5 Yaosi carrier rocket at the Wenchang Launch Center and successfully entered the scheduled orbit

The Advanced Coating Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education, which is responsible for the research and development of the dust-removing coatings for the Mars rover, was established in 2001.

In recent years, in addition to the aforementioned dust-removing coatings for the Mars rover, the advanced functional coatings developed by the coating center team have also made significant progress in major engineering applications in other countries
