On August 3, 2022, the Qingdao Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau issued a notice on announcing the list of expert workstations in Qingdao for 2022. Qingdao Liyang Rubber Technology Co., Ltd. applied for the "Qingdao Tire Nanomaterial Expert Workstation" and became one of the 175 approved units for the 2022 Qingdao Expert Workstation. This is also another cooperation between Qingdao Liyang Rubber Technology Co., Ltd. and Shenyang University of Chemical Technology in terms of industry university research cooperation, which was signed for a period of 3 years and 6 years respectively in 2015 and 2018. After establishing the "Liyang Technology Scholarship" at Shenyang University of Chemical Technology in 2018, Qingdao Liyang Rubber Technology Co., Ltd. has once again collaborated with Shenyang University of Chemical Technology in the field of industry university research cooperation. The successful application of Qingdao Tire Nanomaterials Expert Workstation, under the guidance of the chief expert, Professor Fang Qinghong, the former dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Shenyang University of Chemical Technology, Professor Wang Na, the dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Shenyang University of Chemical Technology, Professor Liu Dachen, the vice president of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Shenyang University of Chemical Technology, and Professor Li Xiaofeng of Shanghai Maritime University, the company will redouble its efforts in the R&D and application of rubber tire nanomaterials, and in the technology transfer of countries along the "the Belt and Road".

Qingdao Liyang will take this opportunity to deepen joint research and achievement transformation with various universities in the field of nano new materials for tires. Practical cooperation will be carried out in the innovation of nano new materials technology and talent cultivation. Through the application research of high-performance white carbon black in low rolling resistance, cutting resistance, and winter tires, the development and application of graphene flame retardant rubber, the application research of new alloy rubber DVA in tire airtight layer, the research on tire balanced vulcanization system, and the research and development of nano materials such as nano clay and nano silicon oxide new materials in tires, breakthroughs will be sought in achievement transformation to solve the technical bottlenecks currently faced by enterprises and develop more advantageous new products. The establishment of an "expert workstation" can provide Qingdao Liyang with a standardized and effective platform for industry university research cooperation and innovation, deepen the connection and communication with external experts, and further integrate the advantageous resources of all parties; At the same time, relying on in-depth cooperation on difficult R&D projects of the company, fully leveraging the leadership role of experts, and enhancing the independent innovation capability and core competitiveness of the enterprise; In addition, through the normal operation of the expert workstation, real-time guidance and training of the enterprise innovation team are provided during the project research process, accumulating strength for the subsequent research and development of the enterprise.

Innovation wins the future, exploration is endless. Qingdao Liyang will continue to adhere to innovative development, continuously improve the innovation system, increase research and development investment, strengthen talent team building, fully leverage the role of "expert workstations", deepen cooperation, and achieve win-win results.
