Professor Nguyen Dinh Duc has published over 200 international and national articles as well as many scientific works (including about 150 research papers in international journals and international conference proceedings with 100 articles in ISI listed journals). Professor Nguyen Dinh Duc also owned the Diplom of Invention on The law-behavior of mechanical characteristic for three-phase composite 3Dm reinforced by spherical particles (in Russia, 1999) and Patent about polyme nanocomposite reinforced by glass fibers and nano titanium dioxide particles (in Vietnam, 2016). Last but not least, he has written 04 textbooks and monographs using for the undergraduate and graduate programs, in particular, one monograph about 3D, 4D composites had been published in Russian (Russian Publisher - USSR, 2002) and one other about FGMs plates and shells had been published in English (VNU, Hanoi Publisher, 2014):
Professor Nguyen Dinh Duc is a scientist in Vietnam who is pioneering in the study of carbon-carbon composite materials with space structure 3Dm, 4Dm and functionally graded composite materials (FGM), which are a new material generation, highly durable and heat resistant, used extensively in aerospace structures, missiles, details of the nuclear power plant, machine-building industry, etc. He has built up an academic school of thought using analytical methods to solve many problems related to the determination of mechanical-physical properties of materials, the static and dynamic stability of composite plates and shells, and other most recently as piezoelectric composite, functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG CNTRC), auxetic materials, etc.
Analytical nonlinear formulation allowing the determination of the elastic modulus for nanocomposite materials reinforced by nanoparticles has been known to scientific communities by international publications associated with the name of Professor Nguyen Dinh Duc and a famous Russian scientist - Professor Vanin. This formula is named "Vanin - Nguyen Dinh Duc" and has become an international term in materials science (Professor Dr. Sci. Vanin G.A is a prominent Russian scientist in composite - Head of Laboratory of Mechniacs of Composite Materials - of Mechanical Engineering Research Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences).
In recent years, green energy and renewable energy are a main concern of the world and Vietnam. He has quickly approached this direction and successfully coordinated with the Physics group at the VNU, Hanoi - University of Engineering and Technology to add nanoparticles properly to improve the mechanical-physical properties of nanocomposite polymers, such as in fabricating OLED organic photovoltaic materials, or in improving the energy conversion performance of solar panels, and in incorporating interdisciplinary physics-mechanics to study the stability of the this three phase composite structure (including polymer matrix, reinforcement fiber and nanoparticles) under different loads. The research outcomes of Professor Nguyen Dinh Duc and his colleagues in the field of static and dynamic stability of FGM plates and shells, nanocomposite, composite structures with cracks, green and renewable energy have not only been published in renowned international ISI journals, but Professor Nguyen Dinh Duc have also been honored as “invited speaker” at many international conferences in USA, Canada, Russian, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Japan, India, China, Korea, Malaysia,...
