Tech Empowers New Materials!
Tech Empowers New Materials! Shanxi Nuohao New Materials Joins the Southern Shanjin Shared Platform to Accelerate Innovation and Upgrading of High-End Friction Materials.
Recently, under the overall guidance of the Changzhi Municipal Bureau of Science and Technology and the strong support of the science and technology department of Licheng County, the special working group of the Changzhou Industrial Technology Research Institute of North University of China walked into Shanxi Nuohao New Materials Co., Ltd. to carry out precise docking services for the Jinnan High-End Equipment and Large-Scale Scientific Research Instrument Sharing Platform. With "hand-on" practical operation guidance, it has broken the "last mile" for the implementation of scientific research resources, injecting innovation acceleration into this enterprise deeply engaged in the high-end new materials field.
As a key investment promotion project and a benchmark enterprise in the new materials industry of Licheng County, Shanxi Nuohao New Materials Co., Ltd., founded in 2022, has always focused on key fields such as high-performance friction materials and carbonyl nanomaterials. It has built a production base for brake friction materials and carbonyl nanofriction materials with an investment of 1.53 billion yuan, and some production lines have been put into operation at present. Relying on molecular formula technology and internationally advanced heat treatment process, the company's brake friction products have core advantages such as short braking distance, low loss and low cost, which are widely used in high-end equipment fields such as high-speed rail, aviation and new energy vehicles. Its products are exported to more than 20 countries and regions including the United States, Germany and Brazil. After full production, it will become the largest carbonyl nanomaterial production base in China, with an estimated annual output value of 500 million yuan and 300 jobs provided.

In this docking activity, the research team provided full-process customized services for Shanxi Nuohao's actual needs in new material R&D and performance testing. Through on-site one-to-one demonstration, the team handedly guided the enterprise's technical personnel to complete the core function operations such as platform registration, instrument reservation and achievement docking, ensuring that relevant personnel fully mastered the platform usage skills and achieved "immediate learning and application". It is understood that the Jinnan High-End Equipment and Large-Scale Scientific Research Instrument Sharing Platform is the core carrier of Changzhi's strategy to promote the development of "laboratory economy". It integrates high-quality instrument equipment and technical resources from universities and scientific research institutes in the region, providing enterprises with one-stop services such as large-scale scientific research instrument sharing, technological achievement transformation and industry-university-research cooperation docking. This is highly consistent with Shanxi Nuohao's innovation needs in product iteration and process upgrading.
"For new material enterprises, the high investment in R&D equipment and the narrow technical docking channels are the key pain points restricting development." said the relevant person in charge of Shanxi Nuohao New Materials Co., Ltd. The use of the sharing platform has not only helped the enterprise significantly reduce the cost of purchasing and maintaining high-end instruments, but also built a bridge for direct communication with scientific research institutions. In the future, the enterprise will accurately connect special resources such as nanomaterial characterization and friction performance testing through the platform, accelerate the technological breakthrough of carbonyl nanomaterials in emerging fields such as additive manufacturing and soft magnetic applications, and further enhance the core competitiveness of products.
This cooperation is a vivid practice in the construction of the scientific and technological innovation ecosystem led by government guidance, university empowerment and enterprise dominance. As an important landing measure of the policy of opening and sharing scientific and technological resources in Shanxi Province, the Jinnan High-End Equipment and Large-Scale Scientific Research Instrument Sharing Platform will provide continuous support for Shanxi Nuohao, helping the enterprise sprint the annual output value target of 125 million yuan in the first quarter at the start of the "15th Five-Year Plan" and drive the "Made in China" new materials to the global high-end market. In the future, taking this cooperation as an opportunity, Shanxi Nuohao will deepen industry-university-research collaborative innovation, fully release the resource value of the sharing platform, and continue to make breakthroughs in the field of high-end friction materials and nanomaterials, contributing core strength to the high-quality development of the new materials industry in Changzhi and even the entire Jinnan region.
