in the process of skiing, snow has a very high reflection rate of ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun. If you look at snow for a long time without protection, you will suffer from snow blindness if you are careless. And in the process of skiing, it is inevitable that something like snowboard flying snow and small stone will hit head on. Therefore, a ski goggles that can protect eyes is particularly important.


PC (polycarbonate) plastic material is widely used in lens manufacturing of goggles due to its unique characteristics of high light transmittance, high refractive index, high impact resistance, dimensional stability and easy processing and molding.


ABS engineering plastics

ABS (acrylic nitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) it is a commonly used thermoplastic engineering plastic, it is a terpolymer of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene, and the relative content of the three monomer can be arbitrarily changed to make various resin. ABS has good comprehensive performance, low price and wide application, and is widely used in electronic appliances, instruments, automobile manufacturing, office machinery, daily products and other fields.

skiing is a very enjoyable skiing sport, which organically combines speed and skills. Athletes should complete rapid sliding and turning movements on the steep slope of the towering snow mountain.

When athletes ski, their heads will emit a lot of heat and they need to wear breathable and warm helmets. Ski helmet shell materials are mainly PC (polycarbonate) and ABS (one kind of engineering plastics), inner shell is generally a high-density foaming material, which can play the best buffering role after the head is hit.


Polyurethane

polyurethane refers to the polymer resin synthesized by polycondensation of basic chemical isocyanate and polyol, which has become an indispensable and important material in life.

as an official project in the Winter Olympics, short track speed skating has always attracted much attention. As a competition, the speed skating competition clothing reflects the "technology content" everywhere ". In order to reduce air resistance, honeycomb-style polyurethane materials are used in the hands and feet of speed skating competition clothes in order to maximize the performance of athletes.


By changing the chemical structure and formula ratio of raw materials, polyurethane can produce products with various properties, which is the only one among all kinds of polymer materials at present in plastics (foam plastics), rubber (Elastomer), synthetic materials with great application value in fiber (spandex), coating and adhesive. Compared with rubber, polyurethane has better wear resistance and cutting tear resistance. Compared with metal and plastic, polyurethane has outstanding sound insulation and wear resistance.


Carbon fiber

carbon fiber is a high-strength and high-modulus high-performance fiber material with a carbon content of more than 90%. As a strategic new material with excellent performance, the fiber density is less than 1/4 of that of steel, but the strength is 7-9 times that of steel. Now it is widely used in aerospace, new energy, transportation, sports and leisure and other fields.


At this Winter Olympics, carbon fiber materials can be said to be brilliant, and torch, snowmobile, speed skating skates and other equipment have its figure.

the materials of the Winter Olympic torch "flying" creatively adopted "carbon fiber", it is not only fire-resistant and high temperature resistant, but also can resist 10 levels of wind and rainstorm, and can be used in extremely cold weather. The Winter Olympic organizing committee commented on the torch as light, not bad, and avoided the embarrassing situation of "freezing hands" of metal materials in winter.


According to the introduction of torch design technicians, making the Olympic torch with carbon fiber composite materials is the first in the world. In the production workshop, each of these black tow made of petroleum products contains 12000 carbon fiber filaments. Next, using the three-dimensional weaving machine, you can weave a thread into a torch coat like knit a sweater.

on September 10, 2021, the delivery ceremony of Chinese snowmobile equipment was held in Beijing Capital Gymnasium, marking that the domestic snowmobile developed by the Institute of Aerospace materials and technology of the rocket Academy was officially delivered to the State Sports General Administration!


It is reported that the snow car weighs about 180kg and is made of carbon fiber composite material and alloy material. It is produced by hot melt preprepreg/hot pot molding method. Among them, the domestic TG800 aerospace grade carbon fiber composite material used to manufacture the car body looks like wallpaper, but it is a sandwich structure. The black carbon fiber composite preprepreg sandwiched in the middle has viscosity on both sides, which is light, thin, soft and has good ductility and is in the form of fine weaving. In addition, the diameter of each carbon fiber monofilament is only about one tenth of the diameter of human hair. With the formal delivery of the snowmobile, it can be said that the breakthrough of domestic snowmobile equipment from "none" to "yes" has been realized, filling the domestic gap.

through the establishment of the database of speed skating athlete's foot type and sole, the 3D foot scanning and printing system is developed, and the carbon fiber high-performance composite material is adopted, which can carry out personalized customization and rapid manufacturing of speed skating skates, effectively improving the performance of speed skating skates, and realize lightweight manufacturing, which is helpful to improve the competitive performance of athletes.


Graphene


graphene is a new type of nano-material with the highest thermal conductivity known at present. It has ultra-high strength and ultra-high thermal conductivity, and is praised as "The King of New Materials" by the industry ". Graphene heating clothing has soft, breathable and bending resistance, which can be started in an ultra-low temperature environment of minus 40 ℃, and the temperature is adjusted between 38 ℃ and 52 ℃, the washing performance of 50 times does not decay, and heat occurs in multiple areas, which can well meet people's use requirements in ultra-low temperature environment.
