http://qibebt.cas.cn/news/zyxw/202408/t20240815_7273375.html

The prize was provided on August 16 at the Qingdao Science and Technology Innovation Conference.

QIBEBT has focused for many years on the problem of high-performance tire treads which presently rely on imports of solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber.

Wang Qinggang, director of the Catalytic Polymerization and Engineering Research Center of QIBEBT, and his project team have created a new material of iron-based combed styrene-butadiene rubber and invented technologies of green, environmentally friendly, controllable and stable industrial production. The Qingdao Institute of Energy has achieved the first 10,000-ton industrial demonstration of iron-based combed styrene-butadiene rubber in the world, and has completed the manufacturing demonstration and sales of more than 500,000 high-performance tires, achieving the highest level A in the EU new labeling law.
