Ten potential new materials for the future

“Graphene, carbon nanotubes, aerogels, fullerenes, amorphous alloys, superconducting materials, metamaterials, ionic liquids, 3D printing materials, and foam metals.” New Materials Online CEO Zhao Wenfeng in the First New Materials Industry At the Capital Technology Summit, the top 10 new materials with the greatest potential are released. He said, "Although many new materials are far from industrialization, their investment value has gradually emerged."

The first new materials industry capital technology summit, co-organized by New Materials Online, was opened in Shenzhen recently. The summit was guided by the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Beijing New Material Development Center, and the Amorphous Materials Academic Committee. Nearly 400 people attended the Capital Technology Summit with about 300 organizations. More than 100 venture capital institutions and several project parties had face-to-face exchanges.

At the meeting, the new material industry was favored by many venture capital institutions. Wei Hongbo, general manager of regional business of Sequoia Capital China Fund, focused on new energy, but he also expressed interest in new material companies with the ability to open up the industry chain. Pan Jing, general manager of titanium and investment, has gradually shifted his investment focus from high-end equipment manufacturing to the new materials industry. He hopes to make breakthroughs in the field of adhesives, fireproof materials, and film materials. Xiao Yipeng, the executive director of Yongchun Investment, has invested 30 to 40 new material companies in recent years. Some new material companies with the ability to replace imported materials are favored by him. Chen Zhuxi, general manager of Dachen Venture Capital Hunan Branch, also stated that the new material is industrial grain, and he is optimistic about new materials companies that can replace imports and meet the needs of the military industry.

The current session focused on the central issue of “Capital and Technology in the New Materials Industry” and demonstrated the status quo of the new materials industry, future development space, and investment hot spots. Investment institutions and entrepreneurs in new materials-related industries have initiated various aspects. Exchanges and discussions. The summit also selected fourteen new materials industry projects for roadshows. The roadshow projects involved LED, nanocatalysis, aerogels, thermal insulation materials, ultra-thin crystalline silicon solar energy, composite metal materials, high-strength microporous biomass fibers, There are many potential new materials such as rapid additive manufacturing.
