On February 26, 2025, Shaanxi Province Science and Technology Financing Matchmaking Meeting was held in Qinchuangyuan Financial Center of Xixian New District, and Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials’ STPS (Soft Template-based Polystyrene Foam) waterproof oil-repellent and breathable membrane technology and industrialization project showcased at the roadshow as one of the five invited projects.

INCSMM vice dean Prof. Ding Liping, Prof. Liu Kaiqiang, Liaison and Administration Office director Yang Xiaogang, and research assistant Wang Pei attended the roadshow. Wang Pei introduced the core advantages, R&D history and industrialization prospect of STPS waterproof oil-repellent breathable membrane technology to the audience in detail.

This project is based on the international leading gel emulsion soft template preparation technology developed by Prof. Fang Yu’s team, which is a class of STPS waterproof oil-repellent breathable membrane new materials with the outstanding advantages of wide range of adjustable air permeability and functional composition composite. Its production process has three technical advantages: advanced technology, precise structural control and customized modification of the surface interface, and has overcome four major production problems: amplified preparation, stabilized production, green environmental protection and cost control. The products can be widely used in automotive, outdoor electronic equipment, smart home appliances, photovoltaic and energy storage, daily-use chemical and medical industries.

Thirty government departments, 20 financial institutions, 20 investment institutions, 20 universities and institutes, 30 science and technology-based enterprises and a number of news media participated in the event organized by Shaanxi Provincial Department of Science and Technology in conjunction with the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee Finance Office.
