Known as the "drug chip", it can determine the success or failure of a new drug.

In our daily lives, we often buy medicines from pharmacies; these are finished drugs. Many times we complain that medicines are too expensive, especially the drugs for serious illnesses treated in hospitals. For example, the innovative anti-cancer drugs in the movie "Dying to Survive" were very expensive, leading many people to buy generic drugs instead.

What are pharmaceutical intermediates?

Pharmaceutical intermediates are compounds produced as intermediate steps in the process of drug synthesis. They are key steps in drug synthesis, usually synthesized from raw materials through organic synthesis methods, and then further chemically converted into the final drug.

Pharmaceutical intermediates have become an important link in the pharmaceutical industry chain

Pharmaceutical intermediates are crucial raw materials in the drug manufacturing process. Their quality directly impacts the quality and efficacy of the final drug product. As the added value and process complexity of pharmaceutical intermediates in China continue to increase, they have become a critical link in the pharmaceutical industry chain.

Recycling will become a new highlight of composite materials

The recycling and reuse of composite materials will become a new industry and a new highlight. In addition to the application of composite materials, the issue of their recycling has become a barrier to the development of the composite materials industry, and it can even be said that recycling and reuse is a matter of life and death for composite materials. Many countries have limited the annual output of composite material manufacturers for this reason. For example, the European requirement for scrapped vehicles is that by the end of 2006, 85% of the plastic, rubber, and glass in each vehicle must be recyclable, and this figure must reach 95% by the end of 2015. Faced with this situation, China, as a major producer of composite materials, cannot simply be complacent about its ranking as the world's third-largest producer, but should further recognize its more important environmental responsibilities.

Opportunities and Challenges of Civil Composite Materials

Since their advent in the mid-1960s, advanced composite materials, represented by carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composites, have been primarily used in aerospace, accounting for approximately 70%–80% of their applications. However, in recent years, they have rapidly expanded into three major fields: aerospace, sporting goods, and industrial applications. In the future, aerospace and other military applications will account for approximately 20% of the market share, sporting goods will account for approximately 30%, and industrial applications will account for over 50%. Advanced composite material technology is a typical dual-use technology, with the transfer of high technology to civilian use being a global trend. The application of composite materials in various industrial fields is showing a trend and characteristic of diversified development.
