A novel superhydrophobic nanocomposite material based on polydimethylsiloxane polyurethane (PDMS-PU) and graphene/tungsten disulfide exhibits strong anti biological adhesion, corrosion resistance, and mechanical durability without the use of biocides.

On the occasion of the 18th (2025) SNEC PV+International Solar Photovoltaic and Smart Energy (Shanghai) Conference and Exhibition, as the pioneer of polyurethane composite material module frames, material manufacturer Covestro Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Covestro") announced that the cumulative shipment of photovoltaic modules carrying its innovative polyurethane composite material frame technology has exceeded 3 GW, equivalent to about 5 million conventional photovoltaic panels being put into use around the world, with a laying area covering more than 1100 standard football fields. This achievement demonstrates the market's recognition of this innovative technology.

Polyurethane (PU) materials are widely used in the manufacturing of automotive steering wheels due to their excellent properties, and related research mainly focuses on material modification, process optimization, and functional integration. The following are the key research directions and technological advancements of polyurethane in steering wheel applications

PU polyurethane head protectors are superior to ordinary plastics in terms of safety, durability, and user experience, especially suitable for high-frequency or high-risk protective scenarios. If the budget allows, PU material is more preferred.

Improving work efficiency: A comfortable office environment can reduce employee fatigue, make them more focused on their work, and thus improve overall work efficiency. Optimizing the office environment: Anti fatigue floor mats not only have practical functions, but also add a modern and professional touch to the office, enhancing the corporate image. Economical and practical: PU polyurethane anti fatigue floor mat has strong durability and long service life, making it an economical and practical investment in office equipment. PU polyurethane anti fatigue floor mat, as an innovative office product, can not only effectively alleviate employees' fatigue, but also improve the comfort and professionalism of the office environment. In modern enterprises, paying attention to the health and comfort of employees has become an important factor in enhancing competitiveness. By widely using PU polyurethane anti fatigue floor mats in the office, companies can create a healthier and more efficient working environment for employees, thereby achieving a win-win situation for both employees and the company.
