As the main sector of the new material industry in Lishui District, Dongping Street is accelerating the cultivation of a 10-billion-level new material industrial park. The development, growth and iteration of the industry are inseparable from the wisdom and strength of a large number of elite talents. Shi Qiang, a post-85 engineer doctor from Gansu and R&D director of Nanjing New Nuclear Composite Materials Co., Ltd., is one of them. In the past three years, he has led the team to devote himself to R&D and innovation in the field of new materials, and a number of technological achievements have broken the foreign monopoly.
“The first time I came, I wanted to stay”
In 2019, Shi Qiang, who teaches at Luoyang Institute of Technology, came to Lishui Dongping Industrial Park for the first time, and his mission was to help Nanjing New Nuclear Composite Materials Co., Ltd. do scientific research projects. It is precisely because of this trip that Dongping’s superior geographical location and booming new material industry have deeply attracted the attention of this counterpart expert.
“The first time I came, I had a strong idea in my heart that I wanted to make my dream come true here.” In 2022, Shi Qiang resolutely gave up the comfortable “iron rice bowl” of “teacher”, and with full enthusiasm for the field of new materials, he re-embarked on the land of Lishui, which he looked forward to infinitely, and became a member of Nanjing New Nuclear Composite Materials Co., Ltd.
Nanjing New Nuclear Composite Materials Co., Ltd. is a modern technology company integrating R&D, design, manufacturing, sales, installation and technical services of high-performance composite materials, equipped with the world’s most advanced process manufacturing, product testing and reliability testing equipment, and participated in the construction of 90% of nuclear power plants in China. For Shi Qiang,Entering such a company is not only an important turning point in his career, but also a stage for him to realize his dreams.
“Go both ways, achieve each other”
As a doctor of engineering, Shi Qiang led the team to overcome one technical difficulty after another, and successfully developed a number of high-performance composite products with independent intellectual property rights, which are widely used in national key projects. Among them, the offshore fire-fighting composite pipe can resist 1300°C spray flames, successfully breaking the monopoly of foreign products in the domestic market. These important scientific research achievements have injected a steady stream of innovative vitality into the development of the enterprise.
“This is a two-way rush and mutual achievement, I will learn the theoretical knowledge and practical production, the whole process is involved, which is very beneficial to the production of scientific research results, improve the level of scientific research!” Shi Qiang said that the company has a profound development background and forward-looking planning layout in the field of new materials, which provides a long-term and broad space for the growth of scientific and technological talents.
In 2022, he was selected as the Nanjing Enterprise Expert Studio and the “Vice President of Science and Technology” of Jiangsu Province, and in 2023, he was selected into the high-level innovation and entrepreneurship talent project of Lishui District, presided over the formulation of the national standard GB/T41312.2 and participated in the formulation of the industry standard NB/T11295 and other 3 standards were released and implemented, and in 2024, he participated in the declaration of “Key Technologies and Applications of Components and Impact Protection of Advanced Composite Structures” won the second prize of Jiangsu Province Science and Technology Progress Award…… In just 3 years in Li, with the strong support of the Organization Department of the District Party Committee, the District Science and Technology Bureau and other relevant departments, Shi Qiang has made remarkable achievements in the field of scientific and technological innovation, and he has actively transformed these scientific and technological achievements into new productivity, promoted the upgrading and development of the new material industry, and helped the company become one of the leading enterprises in the new material industry in Dongping Industrial Park.
