Recently, Meng Jiaguang, a professor at the School of Textile Science and Engineering at Xi’an Polytechnic University, received a congratulatory letter from Kuznetsov, President of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. Kuznetsov congratulated Meng Jiaguang on his election as a foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, and issued the academician election certificate and academician work certificate.
The Russian Academy of Natural Sciences is the largest academy of sciences in Russia recognized by the United Nations. Its members are all scientists and experts who have made significant achievements in the fields of natural sciences and humanities, and have important academic influence. The Academy of Sciences has 24 academic departments, with 18 Nobel Prize winners, more than 270 academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and more than 30 academicians of the Russian National Academy of Medical Sciences. Foreign academicians of the Academy of Sciences include outstanding scientists from 48 countries around the world, including many academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Russian Academy of Natural Sciences examines the candidates’ academic achievements and their influence and status in the international textile field, and undergoes strict academic review and selection procedures through academician recommendation, formal review, material review, defense, departmental election, presidium review and other processes. Professor Meng Jiaguang was elected as a foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (Faculty of Agricultural and Industrial Complex Sciences) on July 28, 2022. This marks that Professor Meng Jiaguang’s research results in the field of knitting have been internationally recognized, and has significantly enhanced the international influence of Xi’an Polytechnic University in the field of knitting technology research.
Meng Jiaguang is a second-level professor of textile science and engineering at Xi’an Engineering University, a Ph.D. in engineering, a doctoral tutor at Xi’an Engineering University, and a doctoral tutor at Tianjin University of Technology. He has been awarded the title of China’s Textile Academic Leader, National Textile Science and Technology Innovation Leading Talent, Shaanxi Provincial Key Discipline – Textile Engineering Discipline Leader, Evaluation Expert for National Major Science and Technology Projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, Deputy Director of the Knitting Professional Committee of the China Textile Engineering Society, and Member of the Expert Committee of the China Knitting Industry Association. Mainly engaged in teaching and scientific research in the fields of knitting theory, process, technology, equipment research and research and development of functional and intelligent knitted products.
Through more than 20 years of painstaking research, Professor Meng Jiaguang led the team to successfully develop the world’s first “five-position knitting technology” and “five-position computerized fully automatic flat knitting machine product”. This technology is currently used internationally. Compared with the “three-position knitting technology” that has been used for more than 400 years, it has greatly increased the number of knitted fabric structures. When the number of knitting needles used in the knitted fabric is 20 needles, the former is the number of knitted fabrics woven by the latter. 27351 times. This is a revolutionary breakthrough in the world’s knitting technology and has significantly promoted the scientific and technological progress of the world’s knitting industry.
Meng Jiaguang has achieved systematic research results in wool knitting theory and technology. He proposed the systematic design theory and process calculation method of wool knitting products, and invented the “transformation allocation method” and “program allocation method” used in wool knitting process calculation. Method” and invented the “patching process” in the weaving of wool knitted products. These theories and methods have been compiled into his published “Encyclopedia of Wool Sweater Production”, “Wool Sweater Style, Color Matching and Process Design”, “Cool Sweater Design and Production Technology”, “Cool Sweater Production Concise Manual”, etc. in 4 works. These wool knitting theories and methods have been widely used in the wool knitting industry at home and abroad, and have promoted the technological progress of the world’s wool knitting industry.
Meng Jiaguang led the scientific research team to also develop nano-anti-mite and anti-bacterial functional knitted fabric production technology and products, nano-anti-wrinkle functional silk knitted fabric production technology and products, heating functional knitted fabric production technology and products, which have reached the international advanced level. Warm functional knitted fabric production technology and products, cool functional knitted fabric production technology and products, magnetic health functional knitted fabric production technology and products, cashmere raschel blanket production technology and products, worsted yak sweater production technology and products, etc. The production technology and products have been industrialized in related domestic knitting enterprises, producing significant economic and social benefits.
In recent years, Meng Jiaguang has presided over one national science and technology support plan project, one national technological innovation project and one international cooperative scientific research project. In addition, he has presided over more than 20 provincial and ministerial level scientific research projects, and presided over department and bureau level and horizontal scientific research projects. More than 60 projects; won 11 provincial and ministerial science and technology awards and 1 “Hong Kong Mulberry and Linen Textile Technology Award”; published more than 300 professional academic papers in various domestic and foreign academic journals, compiled and published 4 academic books, Obtained 32 national invention patent authorizations.
