China National Building Materials Institute: scientific and technological achievements can be transferred, high-end materials can be used for home use

Established in 1963, the Institute of Non-Metallic Minerals of the Ministry of Building Materials Industry, after decades of development, has now become a leading enterprise in the R&D and production of artificial crystals. It is one of the few national-level scientific research institutes in my country that systematically engages in the research of artificial crystals. It is at the forefront of technology in the artificial crystal industry and has been leading the development of the industry.
Artificial crystals are high-purity and high-integrity single crystals grown for specific needs. They are the medium for the conversion of various energy forms such as light, electricity, sound, magnetism, force, and heat. They are photoelectric information functional materials in the field of new materials. Manufacturing, microelectronics, medical treatment, energy, information, aerospace and other high-tech and key supporting materials in important fields related to the national economy and national security are also one of the few strategic new industries in my country that have a place in the world and some are in an international leading position. Material.
When visiting the exhibition hall of Zhangqiu Shuangchuang Park in Jinan, Zi Peng, general manager of Shandong Branch of the Crystal Institute, introduced that the infrared optical window crystal is the "cornea" of the photoelectric detection and guidance system, and the nonlinear optical crystal is the "heart" of solid-state laser technology. , Microcrystalline materials are the "skeleton" of astronomical telescopes and space cameras, scintillation crystals are the "eyes" for detecting radiation, piezoelectric crystals are the "ears" of satellites and communications, and semiconductor crystals are the "food" of information technology. Zi Peng said, "Crystals play an important role in many scientific research fields such as aerospace guidance." He gave an example, "The Z-direction slice of KTP crystal of the Institute of Crystallography is applied to the 'Micius' quantum communication satellite. If there is no KTP nonlinear optical crystal, the 'Micius' will lose the core of its function."
He said that crystals are also widely used in modern industries, such as insulating materials made of artificial mica, synthetic diamond crystals used for industrial cutting, grinding and polishing, and piezoelectric crystals in communication equipment, which are essential for many electrical appliances. There are few components, and many crystals are used in places that everyone can't see in daily life, such as watches, mobile phones, Bluetooth, and remote control components.
China National Building Materials Group has 26 scientific research institutes, 38,000 scientific researchers, and 15,000 valid patents. Recently, the group is studying the classification method of scientific and technological achievements, and has experience in the past category A and category B innovation in the fields of basic building materials, new materials, and engineering technology services. On the basis of continuous exploration and formation of a business model that makes innovation a strong support for the long-term profitability of the material industry investment group, it has issued opinions and guidelines, such as C-class results that can meet the needs of the public, integrating various resources, and multi-party cooperation to greatly enhance technology transfer. quality, shorten the transfer cycle, and transform scientific and technological achievements into society to create greater wealth.
According to reports, the establishment of Sinoma Intraocular Lens Research Institute (Shandong) Co., Ltd. in 2020 is a successful attempt by China National Building Materials Group and Shandong Province to complement each other's resources and achieve win-win cooperation in development. The Crystal Institute reached an agreement with Zhangqiu District, Jinan City to relocate to Zhangqiu, mainly to build a national-level artificial crystal technology innovation platform, a national-level artificial crystal industrialization demonstration base, and create a "World Crystal Valley". At present, Shandong Branch of the Crystal Institute has taken solid steps to improve the four-in-one development path of "Research Institute + Industrial Park + Fund + Startup Company".
At present, according to the principle of "deploying the innovation chain around the industrial chain, and laying out the industrial chain around the innovation chain", the Crystal Institute accepts upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain with development space and capital market potential to develop in the entrepreneurship and innovation base, and cultivate high-quality targets for the development of the group's new materials. When introducing Zi Peng, he also gave an example of the transformation of C-type glass-ceramic achievements of the Crystal Institute, which is a product that has just entered the stage of industrialization - a micro-crystal pot. "This microcrystalline pot is a civilian product developed with microcrystalline material technology. It is heat-resistant and cold-resistant, and can be switched between hot and cold temperatures instantly, which means that it can be placed in the refrigerator immediately after heating with an open flame, or it can be placed immediately after taking it out of the refrigerator. Heat it in a microwave oven, and at the same time, it is not afraid of dry burning with an open fire. Due to the characteristics of this crystal material, no matter how you use it, there will be no trace deposits, the cooking process is completely transparent, and it is healthy and convenient to use.” It is understood that the current project The preparation technology of low-expansion microcrystalline material kitchenware products has been transformed into Hushi Company through the transformation of Class C achievements. The Crystal Institute empowers Hushi Company to develop, assists Hushi to pass the product testing of Joyoung and Midea, and is in the process of production line design and financing.
