SCUT Secures Approval for 3 Major Science and Technology Projects by the Ministry of Water Resources: Advancing Innovation in Water Conservancy Technology through Multidisciplinary Integration
On April 2, the 2025 list of major science and technology projects by the Ministry of Water Resources was released. All three projects led by South China University of Technology (SCUT) were approved, namely, “Research on the Trigger Mechanism and Risk Prevention of Drought-Flood Abrupt Alternation in Humid Areas of South China”, “Embodied Intelligent Robotic Technology and Equipment for Multi-domain (Land-Air-Water) Dynamic Water Ecology Monitoring”, and “Research and Application of Key Technologies for Multi-source Sensing and Intelligent Dispatching in Digital Twin River Basins”.Led by SCUT, these three projects are anchored by the School of Civil Engineering and Transportation and the Shien-Ming Wu School of Intelligent Engineering, drawing on the collaborative expertise of various other schools. In doing so, SCUT demonstrates its progress in advancing organized research and fostering interdisciplinary synergy, and serves as a vivid example of how scientific innovation underpins discipline development and talent cultivation.Each project has a distinct focus. The project led by Professor Wang Zhaoli addresses drought–flood abrupt alternation (DFAA) disasters in South China, aiming to uncover formation mechanisms, develop forecasting and early warning technologies, and build an intelligent operational platform. The project led by Professor Zhong Yong leverages embodied intelligent robotics to address constraints in water ecological monitoring and conducts multi-scenario application validation. The project led by Professor Liu Siyuan constructs a digital twin river basin management system and develops a closed-loop platform integrating the “Four Pre-features”: Forecasting, Early Warning, Simulation, and Contingency Planning.Currently, SCUT is accelerating the development of interdisciplinary programs in water-related fields and is planning to establish the Institute for Future Water Conservancy and Marine Interdisciplinary Research to explore the “Water Conservancy + X” collaborative innovation paradigm. Moving forward, SCUT will strictly implement project management requirements, promote project execution and achievement transformation, and further strengthen interdisciplinary research and talent cultivation to inject innovative momentum into the high-quality development of water conservancy.

Barnacle-Inspired Biomimetic Technology: SCUT Team Develops an Underwater Adhesive
Recently, a research team led by Professor Bian Liming from the School of Biomedical Sciences and Engineering at SCUT achieved a major breakthrough in biomimetic underwater adhesion. On March 30, the research findings titled “Superspreading and Ultra-Infiltrative Coacervate Mediates Strong Underwater Adhesion on Hydrated and Lipidic Substrates”were published in Nature Chemistry.Inspired by the mechanism through which barnacles secrete proteins to form coacervates for strong underwater adhesion, the team developed novel coacervates, addressing long-standing challenges in underwater sealing and tissue repair.Conventional adhesives often perform poorly underwater due to interference from hydration layers and water-related swelling. The team designed an end-group functionalized polypropylene glycol polymer that spontaneously forms stable coacervates in water. It boasts three major advantages, super-spreading, ultra-infiltration, and strong dilution-resistance, allowing it to adapt to complex underwater environments, including extreme pH and high salinity conditions.Experimental results show that the adhesive achieves an adhesion strength of 479 kPa on porcine skin and a burst pressure of 436 kPa, outperforming most existing underwater sealants.It also demonstrates good biocompatibility, successfully sealing perforations in porcine intestines and cardiac tissues, as well as repairing gastric perforations in rats. This research provides a novel biomimetic strategy for designing high-performance underwater adhesives and highlights the innovative strength of SCUT in the field of biomedical science.
