Background and demands of smart wearable device manufacturing
Intelligent wearable devices refer to portable devices that integrate electronic components such as sensors, processors, communication modules, etc., which can monitor users’ physiological parameters, motion status, environmental information, etc. in real time, and transmit data to the cloud through wireless network for analysis and handle. In recent years, with the rapid development of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, artificial intelligence (AI), the market for smart wearable devices has shown explosive growth. According to data from market research firm IDC, global smart wearable device shipments have increased from 28.9 million units in 2014 to 530 million units in 2022, with an annual compound growth rate of more than 30%. It is estimated that by 2025, the global smart wearable device market size will reach US$74 billion.
The application scenarios of smart wearable devices are very wide, covering multiple fields such as health management, sports and fitness, entertainment interaction, and industrial monitoring. Among them, health management equipment such as smart bracelets and smart watches are common. Users can use these devices to monitor physiological indicators such as heart rate, blood pressure, and sleep quality in real time to help them better manage their health. Sports and fitness equipment can record users’ exercise trajectory, steps, calorie consumption and other data, and provide personalized training suggestions. In addition, smart wearable devices are also widely used in military, medical, logistics and other industries, playing an important role.
Although the functions of smart wearable devices are becoming increasingly powerful, their manufacturing process and technical requirements have also been improved accordingly. In order to meet the diverse needs of consumers, smart wearable devices must have the characteristics of lightweight, miniaturization, high performance, and long battery life. At the same time, the appearance design of the device also needs to be more fashionable and beautiful to attract more users. Therefore, choosing the right materials and processes has become one of the important challenges faced by smart wearable device manufacturers.
Polyurethane materials have gradually become an important material in the manufacturing of smart wearable devices due to their excellent physical properties and processability. Polyurethane has good flexibility, wear resistance, impact resistance and chemical resistance, and can effectively protect internal electronic components from the influence of the external environment. In addition, polyurethane materials can also achieve diversified appearance effects through different formulations and processes, such as transparent, translucent, matte, bright light, etc., to meet the design needs of different products.
However, the synthesis and processing process of polyurethane materials is relatively complex, especially in the manufacturing of smart wearable devices, and the performance and process requirements of the material are more stringent. To ensure high quality and efficient production of polyurethane materials, it is crucial to choose the right catalyst. Although traditional organic tin catalysts have good catalytic effects, they have problems such as strong volatility, high toxicity, and serious environmental pollution, which is difficult to meet the environmental protection and health requirements of modern smart wearable equipment manufacturing. Therefore, the development of new efficient and environmentally friendly polyurethane catalysts has become an urgent need in the industry.
