Recently, with the advancement of global carbon neutrality goals, the innovative application of silicone materials in the fields of medical and environmental protection has attracted attention. According to the International Materials Research Association, new polysilazane composite materials have been successfully used in degradable heart stent coatings, and their biocompatibility and controllable degradation characteristics bring good news to cardiovascular patients. Compared with traditional metal stents, this technology can avoid the risk of secondary surgery, and the degradation products can also promote vascular repair. It has entered the clinical trial stage.


In the field of environmental protection, silicone resin is becoming a key material for new energy batteries. In the solid-state battery solution released by a new energy vehicle company, the high temperature resistance of silicone resin-based electrolytes has been improved by 40%, effectively solving the problem of thermal runaway of lithium batteries. In addition, the recycling technology of silicone oil-based waste plastics has made a breakthrough-through silicone oil modification, the conversion efficiency of waste PET plastics has increased by 65%, providing a circular solution for plastic pollution.


It is worth noting that AI technology is accelerating the research and development of silicone. A leading domestic material company introduced an AI molecular simulation platform to shorten the silicone rubber formula development cycle from 3 months to 2 weeks, and successfully synthesized a new silicone rubber with a 50% increase in flame retardancy, which has been used in high-speed rail seals. Experts said that the deep integration of AI and silicone will promote a material revolution in the fields of medical care, new energy, etc.
