Notice on the Release of the 2025 Open Project Application Guide

To all universities, research institutes, enterprises, and innovation teams:

　　To thoroughly implement the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the New Materials Industry in Shandong Province," strengthen basic research and original technology supply in the field of high-performance polyolefin materials and recycling, the Shandong Provincial Key Laboratory of High-Performance Polyolefin Materials and Recycling (hereinafter referred to as the "Laboratory") is now launching the 2025 open project application work. The relevant matters are hereby notified as follows:

　　1. Guideline Positioning

　　Focusing on the three major directions of "green, high-performance, and sustainable," concentrating on key scientific issues and technical bottlenecks throughout the entire lifecycle of polyolefin materials, encouraging interdisciplinary integration and industry-academia-research collaboration, supporting forward-looking and disruptive exploratory research, and providing original innovation for the high-end and circular development of Shandong's polyolefin industry.

　　Key Directions and Topics

　　1. Development of low-shrinkage impact polypropylene

　　2. Preparation of fully vinyl liquid polybutadiene materials

　　3. Study on factors affecting ethylene distribution uniformity in random copolymer polypropylene

　　4. Development of tiger-stripe resistant polypropylene products

　　5. Development of catalysts for polyolefin block copolymers (OBC)

　　6. Development of CPP film crystallization point element analysis methods

　　7. Application development research of polypropylene for transparent, tough, low-temperature heat shrink films

　　8. Development of low-cost catalysts for highly selective depolymerization of polyolefins

　　9. Study on the correlation between microstructure and macroscopic properties of impact copolymer polypropylene

　　10. Design, construction, and mechanism study of biomimetic multi-level structure ablation-resistant polypropylene

　　11. Research on multi-scale interface regulation and high toughness mechanism of long fiber reinforced polypropylene

　　For detailed introduction, see Attachment 1 "Introduction to Open Project Directions and Objectives"

　　3. Project Funding and Duration

　　Each project is funded up to 200,000 yuan, with a research period of 1-2 years.

　　4. Application Requirements

　　1. Applicants must be domestic registered universities, research institutes, or enterprises with independent legal person status; joint applications are encouraged.

　　2. The project leader must be a full-time staff member, hold an associate senior title or above, or a doctoral degree, and generally be under 45 years old.

　　3. Each project leader is limited to applying for one project.

　　4. The project application content must comply with the directions and objectives of the application guidelines.
