With the continuous development of science and technology, robotics has become a hot topic in today's society. In order to achieve lightweight and high sensitivity of robots, PTFE and PVDF have become the materials of choice.
First of all, PTFE and PVDF are much less dense than conventional steels, which makes them ideal for lightweight robots. Conventional steel has a density of 785 g cm3, while the density of PVDF and PTFE is 1., respectively7g cm3 and 21g/cm3。This means that the use of these materials can significantly reduce the weight of the robot, increasing its mobility and flexibility.
Secondly, PTFE and PVDF also have excellent modification and processability. They have excellent properties such as lubricity, resistance to high and low temperatures, corrosion resistance, and almost insoluble in all solvents. This makes them very versatile in their applications, from aerospace to everyday goods. For example, it has applications in PCB boards, corrosive fluid transfer pipes, oil-free lubricating materials, etc.
In addition, the use of PTFE and PVDF instead of conventional steel can also significantly reduce costs. According to the data of the prospectus of Zhongyan shares, in the international market, the price of PEEK is generally 80-1 million yuan;The average price of PEEK materials produced by Zhongyan Co., Ltd. in 2022 is 3370,000 tons. In contrast, PVDF and PTFE are much lower than PEEK. This means that the use of these materials can significantly reduce the manufacturing cost of the robot and improve its market competitiveness.
At the same time, with the continuous development of robotics, sensors have become an increasingly important component. Highly sensitive sensors allow robots to perceive their surroundings more accurately and make more intelligent decisions. As a polymer force-sensitive material with piezoelectric effect, PVDF film has the characteristics of wide frequency response, large dynamic range and high sensitivity to mechanical conversion, and can be processed into soft, light and high-toughness piezoelectric film to empower robot sensing.
Finally, in terms of market conditions, manufacturers of PTFE and PVDF include Dongyue Group, Haohua Technology, Juhua Co., Ltd. and other companies. These companies are actively promoting the application of PTFE and PVDF in the field of robotics, and have achieved certain results.
In short, PTFE and PVDF, as the preferred materials for lightweight and high sensitivity, have a very broad application prospect in the field of robotics. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous growth of market demand, the application range of these materials will become more and more extensive.
