Recently, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence and new energy industries, silicone materials have become the "invisible promoter" of scientific and technological innovation with their unique properties. In the field of AI, polysilazane (PSZ) is used in the nano-scale heat dissipation coating of the new generation of AI chips due to its high temperature resistance and high thermal conductivity, helping companies such as OpenAI to break through the computing power bottleneck. Samsung, BOE and other manufacturers have integrated silicone resin materials into flexible display technology, increasing the bending life of foldable mobile phone screens to more than 500,000 times.
On the consumer side, silicone oil-based hydrophobic coatings have become the "standard" for smart watches and wireless headphones to be waterproof and sweat-proof, while high-elastic sports straps made of silicone rubber have a year-on-year sales growth of 67% in the wearable device market due to their skin-friendly and breathable properties. In the field of new energy vehicles, the silicone rubber battery pack protective material developed by Dow Chemical has been successfully applied to Tesla's 4680 battery pack, which can remain stable in extreme environments of -40°C to 200°C.
It is worth noting that domestic companies are accelerating the layout of the silicone industry chain. According to Grand View Research, the global silicone market will reach $23.5 billion in 2023, with China contributing more than 40% of the production capacity. Experts point out that with the popularization of AIoT devices and the demand for carbon neutrality, the application of silicone in solid-state battery electrolytes, bionic robot skin and other fields may reshape the future technology ecosystem. This "silicon-based revolution" is quietly changing the way humans connect with the intelligent world.
