ZHGY Metamaterial Technology Corporation is an innovative technology enterprise focusing on the R&D and industrialization of flexible metamaterials.
The company design and control the size and shape of the polymer, semiconductor or metal and its hybrid structure of micro nano functional units, in the three-dimensional space of the film or fiber or powder ordered regular arrangement, to obtain a super array structure with different characteristic periods.
By regulating the movement of electromagnetic or mechanical waves interacting with periodic structures, it can become a functional metamaterial with sound modulation, conductivity, magnetic control and color change in different application scenarios, and provide customers with industrial solutions based on reverse calculation and structural design.
In the exhibition hall of ZHGY Metamaterial Technology Corporation, Dr. Tian, the company's CTO, showed Hay Think team the company's innovative achievements – soft films that looked inconspicuous. With the change of bending degree, they changed into red, orange, blue, green and other colors.
It is the microspheres in the coating and its periodic array structure that make the film change into a variety of colors.
Microspheres are small spherical particles with small size effect, surface effect and excellent optical, electrical, magnetic, mechanical and mechanical properties.
Hundreds of millions of nanospheres are arranged on the basic materials according to certain rules, thus changing the movement of electromagnetic waves or light waves and presenting rich colors in the visible light range.
The synthesis, coating and arrangement of microspheres involve multi-disciplinary intersection. Their application scenarios cover many fields such as digital electronics, life sciences, medical preparations and material science, and are extremely important basic materials in modern industry.
ZHGY uses the bionic principle to combine nano optics and metamaterial preparation technology to produce a color changing material with ultra-high optical and mechanical properties, to achieve color and performance changes under different vision, different stress and different environmental responses, as well as applications such as indication, sensing, decoration, protection, camouflage, etc.
At the beginning of its establishment, the company focused on the complete preparation technology of microsphere raw materials from the laboratory to the ton level mass production, and created the industrial level continuous coating shock structure technology to achieve the large-scale mass production of large width, high efficiency and high-performance metamaterial films.
Entrepreneurship in the field of metamaterials should overcome many bottlenecks, such as long cycle, heavy assets, high capital barriers, and difficult market applications.
Mass production and large-scale application of materials are also in the initial stage. The R&D team of ZHGY spent 9 months and 12 months respectively to complete the localization of all raw material formulas and the first mass production film pilot line.
At present, the company's annual production capacity of metamaterial films can reach tens of millions of square meters; The second is to broaden the application scenario of microsphere technology, so that enterprises can handle the relationship among process, equipment and raw materials with ease.
