Preliminary exploration plan for iterative upgrading of silicone products

1. Intelligent integration and scene adaptation upgrade

Embedded sensing technology

By integrating flexible sensors into the silicone substrate through a modification process, the product is equipped with temperature, pressure, or deformation monitoring functions, such as intelligent medical catheters that can provide real-time feedback on patient physical signs.

Combining nano conductive fillers (such as carbon nanotubes) to enhance signal sensitivity while maintaining the flexibility of silicone gel.

Environmental adaptive optimization

Open light/heat responsive silicone materials, such as adding temperature sensitive color changing microcapsules, to make outdoor products (such as phone cases) change color with light intensity and enhance functionality.

By utilizing the flow characteristics of liquid silicone, design seals that can self repair with pressure to extend their service life under extreme working conditions.

2. Environmentally friendly materials and circular economy solutions

Development of biobased silicone gel

Replacing some petroleum based raw materials with plant extracts, such as synthesizing silica gel precursors from castor oil derivatives, reduces carbon footprint while maintaining material elasticity.

Combining biodegradable additives to achieve controllable decomposition of waste silicone products under specific conditions.

Modular design promotes recycling

Design complex silicone products (such as electronic device sealing components) as detachable structures for easy classification and recycling of high-purity silicone parts.

Establish a closed-loop recycling system, such as collaborating with home appliance companies to recycle old silicone parts, which are then recycled and used in low precision scenarios.

3. Precision manufacturing and structural innovation

Micro nano structure surface treatment

By using laser etching technology, micro scale textures are formed on the surface of silicone, such as optimizing the tactile sensation of anti slip phone cases or designing antibacterial structures on the inner wall of medical catheters.

Combining plasma treatment to enhance surface hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity and meet the anti adhesion requirements of medical devices.

3D printing of liquid silicone gel

Utilizing high-precision 3D printing technology to directly shape complex hollow structures, such as customized prosthetic limb liners or microfluidic chips, breaking through the limitations of traditional molds.

Reduce material waste and achieve stable production of thin-walled (<0.5mm) products through cold runner technology.

4. Cross border integration and scene extension

Collaborative Innovation in Electronic Packaging

Develop high thermal conductivity liquid silicone sealing material (thermal conductivity>3W/m · K) for 5G base station power module heat dissipation, replacing traditional epoxy resin.

Balance thermal conductivity and insulation performance through filling gradient distribution technology.

Cross disciplinary application of fashion technology

Composite silicone with textiles, such as washable luminescent silicone shoulder straps, to achieve dynamic lighting effects through built-in flexible circuits, expanding to the field of sports equipment.

Using the high transparency characteristics of meteorological silicone, create a transparent smart watch wristband that can display electronic information.

The above plan promotes the upgrading of silicone products towards intelligence, greenness, and high added value through material innovation, process breakthroughs, and scenario reconstruction, covering the needs of multiple fields such as consumer electronics, medical health, and industrial equipment
