TPU material can be used for which smart wearable devices?
Once upon a time, a smart phone or luxury, and now almost hand a; wearable devices is as a latecomer, become the most attention in recent years, new technology. According to the relevant data show, since 2012, wearable devices market value increased by more than 1000%. Within the next three years value will reach $120.6 billion, has great potential. Have to admit is, many wearable device is not to find the key direction, achieve the intelligent mobile phone as an indispensable position. Then, wearable devices in the future should have what form it? A look at.
A truly wearable accessories
Currently many users of wearable devices are not interested, the main reason is that not enough real wear ". Whether it is a smart watch or bracelet movement, most of them are beautiful enough, even if some of the dubbed" Bracelet "," necklace "smart devices, looks also not is very beautiful.
According to the Journal of the American Medical Association survey, the United States annual income of more than $10 million middle class, basically to overly complex, geeks to can be wearable devices not interested. So, we have also seen a number of technology companies are working to increase wearable devices of "real wear, from apple, moto360, such as watches to ringly ring, more life, fashion design is the trend.
Two, health monitoring and medical auxiliary diverser
Motion bracelets and other equipment can already tell the people daily consumption of calories, exercise heart rate, and even the future but also to monitor the surrounding air quality. But from a macro point of view, based on health monitoring of wearable devices direction is still relatively narrow, basically only focus in the field of consumption, we expect them to do more for the people.
First, is wearable devices in the field of medical potential. Such as raising public equipment Khushi necklace, via NFC chip accept vaccination data and increase the rate of vaccination of children vaccine. According to the McKinsey Global Institute thinks, wearable devices in medical and preventive care has great potential, through continuous monitoring and synchronizing data to a doctor, can reduce the cost of treatment of 20% of the patients. In addition, the wearable devices in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mood swings and monitoring the cancer early prevention, are able to play a certain role.
Three, more diverse forms
At present, most wearable devices are worn on the wrist, limiting the further developing. However, with the continuous improvement of the new sensor, the diversification of forms is the trend of development of wearable devices. At present, we have seen the integrated EMG sensor fiber, sportswear for monitoring muscle movement, but still need to a Bluetooth transmitting device to transmit data.
Northwestern University and the University of Illinois are jointly developing a new wearable items and equipment itself soft, like a tattoo affixed to the skin, body temperature monitoring, blood flow and skin moisture, and directly send data. In addition, ImprintEnergy has developed a can 3D printing, flexible battery pack, for wearable devices of polymorphic transition is extremely advantageous.
Four, the status of wearable devices
Smart phone development of nearly 10 years were able to spread, this process is long and tortuous, but wear market may not be so entanglements, the existing technology has some achievements and new technology to than expected faster, at the same time because of the embedded shape, relatively low cost, wearable devices are more likely to be in the world market, and more are expected to real from health, medical level help people to improve the quality of life.
With the development of mobile Internet, technology progress and high performance, low-power processing chip launched, smart wearable devices are becoming rich, wearable intelligent equipment has been from concept to commercialization, Google glasses, watches apple, Samsung smart watches, Nike's fuel wrist band, intelligent sensor, solar charger backpack, etc. wearable intelligent equipment in large numbers, smart wearable technology has penetrated into fitness, medical, entertainment, security, finance and so on many fields
Wearable smart devices of the whole industry chain is not mature, the real large-scale use but also in time. So wearable devices more widely appear in our life, more efforts are needed.
Brand: Google glasses, glasses camera of thanko, jawbone up, Nike fuelband, baidu plump bracelet, Sony Smartwatch, Samsung gear, Silicon Valley venture pebble.
Design features: a kind of method to achieve beauty is hiding the technology, and with the emergence of new flexible material, it easier than ever to achieve. Concept of the costume move, try the tensile sensor, which user Pilates exercises, track and adjust action to achieve higher accuracy.Jawbone up has also adopted a similar approach will be wearable technology in some way transformation, the completion function also meet the aesthetic requirements.
Material: medical grade hypoallergenic rubber TPU rubber, TFF and so on.
The intelligent strap up selection is TPU material, TPU strap with medical grade nano coating treatment, prevent skin allergy and increase touch silky, deployment of any color.
The prospect and introduction of ultra transparent TPU
With the wide application of TPU, TPU diversity has become perfect.TPU raw material itself is transparent, with the change of customer demand, more and more products transparency requirements; such as the recent popularity of perfume mobile phone protective sleeve, ultra transparent film, ultra transparent casters, ultra transparent zipper top. It is well-known, TPU raw materials in the production process need more or less additives. Promoters is key to affecting the transparency of TPU, and some additives may be added in the forming process of TPU produce grain, a serious impact on the appearance of the TPU products.
Our existing flagship high level TPU is as follows:
1 injection molding grade
Hardness range 80A-95A can reach 3 mm clear, 90a, for example, injection molding cycle 18-27 seconds, processing temperature about 210 deg.c, easy mold release without external plus release powder. Transparency of leading the industry's other brands. Recommended applicable industries: watch band, glasses accessories, garment accessories (label, zipper head, electronic product protective sleeve, casters.
2 extrusion grade
Six series of TPU can reach 6 mm transparency, hardness for the characteristics of 80A-65D.: processing temperature range (180-230 DEG C), financing refers to the stable, high physical properties, widely used in wire, tubes, films and other products. Also in this series, TPU can be used for injection molding.
95A pneumatic tube can be up to 5 mm transparent
With the increase in customer demand for transparency, ultra hard 80D transparency is now close to PC, the latter will have more than the hardness of the material available, let us wait and see.
