On March 23rd, Mitchell A. Winnik, academician of The Academy of Science of the Royal Society of Canada and professor of University of Toronto, was invited to visit our university for academic communication. That morning, Professor Mitchell A. Winnik presented an academic report entitled "One-dimensional Block Copolymer Micelles and Their Hybrid Structures With Inorganic Nanoparticles" for our teachers and students in Yifu Hall. The academic report was chaired by Professor Jiaping Lin. At the presentation, Professor Winnik introduced the research of "crystal-driven self-assembly" initiated by him, focusing on the hybrid structure formed by self-assembly of this system and inorganic nanoparticles, and the crystal self-assembly behavior on carbon nanotubes was described in detail. Professor Winnik also shared valuable experience of his research work and interacted with our teachers and students.

In the afternoon, Professor Winnik and Professor Jiaping Lin's research group had a discussion. Professor Jiaping Lin introduced the recent research results of his group and his opinions and suggestions on the research work about self-assembly of macromolecules. Professor Winnik spoke highly and gave guidance and in-depth discussion based on the work. Accompanied by Professor Jiaping Lin, Professor Winnik also visited the Material Testing and Research Platform of School of Materials and Shanghai Key Laboratory of Advanced Polymer Materials. Associate professor Shengmiao Zhang and Chunhua Cai of School of Materials in our university, and associate professor Lin Jia from Shanghai University accompanied the all communication visit.
