As early as 2005, British engineer Richard Palmer developed a material called D3O. This material is soft under normal conditions, but can withstand sudden impacts. In 2016, after a lapse of ten years, the Chinese polymer materials technology company XAPK Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd. and the Beijing University of Chemical Technology polymer team successfully developed a new type of smart and elastic impact protection material, which has been applied in many fields.
The smart anti-impact elastic material is the collective name of the liquid body armor composite material and the smart flexible elastomer. It is a smart material that can perceive and respond to environmental stress and has the ability to discover. Maintain a relaxed state under normal conditions, soft and elastic. Once subjected to a violent collision or impact, the molecules immediately lock each other, quickly tighten and harden, thereby absorbing and digesting external forces, forming a protective layer, when the external forces disappear After that, the material will return to its original soft elastic flow state.
XAPK owns an emerging technology product that has a revolutionary concept and adapts to various states, and is in a leading position in China. First to achieve zero breakthroughs in the industrialization of such materials in China, and on this basis, strive to achieve internationally leading sports equipment, personal protective equipment, energy-absorbing and shock-proof products for construction projects, and protective products in the military field with independent intellectual property rights.
XAPK relies on new smart material patent technology, EVA modification research, rubber and plastic materials and its product development, TPE modification research and development and other protection, development of sports materials, and advanced industrialization process, using unique patents The technology has developed world-leading impact-resistant rheological materials and energy-absorbing flexible elastomer materials.
About XAPK
XAPK Elastic Material Technology Company is committed to the research and development of the polyborosiloxane-based strain rate-sensitive adaptive new smart material project, and has a systematic and complete industrial production capacity for this type of material. The company relies on this new smart material patented technology and various modified elastomers developed on the basis of this technology, including modified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), modified thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), modified hydrogenated Styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS), modified silicone rubber, modified polyolefin elastomer (POE), modified nylon elastomer, modified two-component foamed polyurethane and other modified composites Materials and materials technology to form a product series including modified elastomers and modified additives.
XAPK makes trusted, high performance, quality shock absorbing solutions for global organisations and some of the world`s biggest brands.
The smart elastic impact protective material developed by XAPK belongs to the category of smart polymer materials. It is a smart material that can perceive and respond to the environment (impact). The material presents a soft gel state under normal temperature and pressure. For example, it can be called a soft solid elastomer when compounded with PU, TPE, and TPU. Once impacted, it can quickly transform into a rigid solid and absorb the impact energy within a few microseconds, and quickly restore the soft gel or elastomer state after impact.
Utilizing this feature, the material can be widely used in sports protective gear, labor protective gear, military and police protective gear, electronic products, vibration and shock prevention, and explosion-proof and shock-absorbing fields. The technology of this project is a speed-sensitive intelligent speed bump product developed by the team using self-developed intelligent fluid materials. This technology can instantly increase the rigidity of the material in the deceleration belt by three to four orders of magnitude when the passing vehicle speed exceeds the specified value, so that the speeding vehicle will experience severe bumps; if the vehicle speed is below the specified value, the material is soft and deformable, and the vehicle bumps are not obvious. "
The technologies protect in some of the world`s toughest testing grounds and arenas, from soldiers to professional athletes, industrial workers and people like us.
