The rise of nanometers

As far as he knows, this silicone material was developed by a factory that produces non-stick pans and is used in the coating of non-stick pans.

The common non-stick coatings on the market at that time were no different from those currently available. They mainly included Teflon coatings, ceramic coatings, silicone coatings, etc.

The most familiar and common non-stick coating is Teflon coating.

In fact, to be precise, Teflon is just a brand of coating developed by DuPont, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is the coating for non-stick pans.

Because DuPont first used the Teflon trademark on non-stick coatings, it has now become a general name for traditional non-stick coatings.

Similar to the black cyclone insecticide in Lingnan area, the black cyclone is usually equivalent to spray insecticide.

The three mainstream non-stick coatings on the market each have their own advantages and disadvantages, especially Teflon coatings that have not yet replaced processing auxiliaries, which do pose safety risks.

Because Teflon’s processing auxiliary, perfluorooctanoic acid, is indeed related to some diseases in relevant studies.

DuPont stopped producing Teflon containing perfluorooctanoic acid in 2012 and adopted a new process of Teflon coating.

What is just intriguing is that the Maple Leaf Country completely banned the production and sale of Teflon in 2007, the United States in 2015, and the Western Continent Alliance in 2017.

Therefore, if you can use Teflon non-stick pans in your life, try not to use them. After all, domestic eating habits and high-temperature cooking habits may cause the Teflon coating to produce some harmful substances at high temperatures.

Therefore, a domestic non-stick pan manufacturer will start developing a new non-stick pan coating in 2023.

Finished dinner.

Huang Xiuyuan and Lu Xuedong came to Suiren's third scientific research team together. After checking the new silicon molecular structure, as expected, it was one of the materials in his memory.

Why is it said to be one? Because the material of silicon 9 molecule actually has three isomers. These three isomers have one thing in common, that is, they all have a hexagonal silicon.

They are: positive silicon 9, different silicon 9, and side silicon 9.

For the 10 researchers in the third group, I encouraged them to continue their efforts and conduct in-depth research on the characteristics of the silicon 9 molecule.

Although the differences between the three types of silicon 9 are known, the really useful ones are positive silicon 9 molecules, which can form silicon nanocoatings.

But now that the third group has started, it’s up to them to continue their in-depth research.

Sure enough, in the next period of time, the third team discovered three isomers of silicon 9 molecules and their synthesis processes one after another during the research process.

When Huang Xiuyuan and Lu Xuedong came to the third group again, they discovered some uses of silicon 9. The group leader Li Ying reported excitedly:

"Mr. Huang and Mr. Lu, the positive silicon 9 molecules can form a dense silicon nanofilm on the metal surface through electroplating. This film has very strong adhesion and very good strength."

Lu Xuedong looked at the detailed report and discovered some of the data: "Not only is the strength very high, the melting point is 957 degrees Celsius, the chemical properties are stable, and it almost does not react with ordinary substances, but the friction coefficient on the surface of the nano-coating is extremely low."

On the workbench on one side, there are more than a dozen items of various sizes displayed, including iron sheets, aluminum sheets, stainless steel spoons, iron pots, aluminum pots, iron pipes, copper wires and the like.

These things were all covered with translucent crystals. Huang Xiuyuan picked up the copper wire, which should have been stripped from the wire, and started to use a little force.

After exerting force, the copper wire was finally bent, but the nano-plating at the bend did not crack, but maintained a smooth surface.

Li Ying picked up the hair dryer on the side and heated the bent copper wire. After being slightly heated and soaked in cold water, the copper wire returned to its previous straight state.

Obviously, the positive silicon 9-nanometer coating has certain memory material properties.

In the face of mechanical physical damage, even a high-hardness alloy drill bit needs to exert a very large force to destroy the coating.

In the daily cooking process, it is almost impossible to damage the coating with human strength, even with a metal spatula and constant violent friction.

Unless you use a chisel and a hammer to violently cut through the coating, there are relatively few people who would do this intentionally in life.

It seems that this material can almost create a perfect coating. In fact, Huang Xiuyuan knows that this nano-coating has a shortcoming, and that is the longevity issue.

In this regard, Li Ying's team has not found anything yet.

The lifespan of the positive silicon 9 nanometer coating is determined by the properties of the positive silicon 9 molecules. This molecule can usually last for 80 to 90 years under normal temperature and pressure, and then gradually decomposes into single crystal silicon and polycrystalline silicon.

And if it is used as a kitchenware that is frequently heated, its lifespan will be greatly reduced. If it is used for three meals a day, it can last for about 9 years at most.

According to general household usage, silicon nano-coated non-stick pans can usually be used for between 12 and 15 years.

Compared with Teflon coating, ceramic coating, and silicone coating, the service life has been greatly extended, and there is almost no peeling or scratching during the service period.

Even if the silicon nano-coating enters the decomposition stage, no harmful substances will be produced. After all, the decomposition products are monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon.

Huang Xiuyuan wrote an approval note to the third team and handed it over: "Li Ying, I think this material has great potential. You can continue to study the lifespan of silicon nano-coating. You can consider applying it to non-stick pans and water pipes in the future."

Li Ying became even more excited after receiving the approval slip. With the chairman's approval, their group could consider the commercialization of the technology.

In the approval note, Huang Xiuyuan made some suggestions, such as applying it to water pipes, using coating to isolate air, which can reduce the oxidation of iron pipes; and coating inside the pipe can prevent the pipe itself from producing impurities and contaminating tap water.

The temperature of tap water pipes buried underground is very stable. When combined with silicon nano-coating, it is even more powerful. The coating can last for 80 to 90 years.

If multi-layer coating is used, even if the silicon nano-coating is decomposed, a relatively thick polysilicon layer will be formed on the surface of the pipeline, further extending the life of the pipeline.

Therefore, iron pipes using multi-layer silicon nano-coating will not be a problem when used underground.

This is a very important bonus for Suiren Company's water contracting strategy, especially because of its pure water permeable membrane technology, the tap water supplied by Suiren Company's water plant is actually pure water.

Coupled with silicon nano-coated pipes, it can basically ensure direct drinking of tap water and provide cleaner tap water to the public.

Asking Lu Xuedong to pay more attention to the situation of the third group, Huang Xiuyuan talked to Jiang Hailin and asked him to discuss with Lin Baijie to acquire a pot manufacturing factory and an iron pipe manufacturing factory to provide good supporting equipment for the subsequent commercialization of technology.

At this time, as the core of heavy industry in North China, Shandong Province sent an inspection team to Shanmei City.

Even Huang Xiuyuan, who had never paid much attention to an inspection group of this level, rarely paid attention to it and asked Jiang Hailin to entertain it in person.

There are more than 50 people in this inspection group. Naturally, the first stop is Guizhuling Industrial Park.
