Professor Huang Maosong: My indissoluble bond with polyurethane

Introduction: In August 2011, on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of the establishment of Tiantian Chemical Network, the website underwent a comprehensive revision, and the newly opened “Interview Records” column will face the polyurethane industry Experts, scholars and well-known enterprises will reveal their success.

Guest of this issue—Professor Huang Maosong

Professor Huang Maosong, researcher, male, born in July 1936, graduated from the Chemistry Department of Peking University in 1960. Before retiring, he has been engaged in the research of aerospace polyurethane elastomers in the 42nd Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. After retirement, he continued to engage in the research of polyurethane elastomer and polyurethane foam flame retardant technology. In TPU , CPU and PU foam flame retardant technology has rich theoretical and practical experience. In recent years, more than 20 review papers have been published on polyurethane materials, which have a certain influence.
Currently serving as an expert and senior consultant of the China Polyurethane Industry Association expert database, chief expert of Shanghai Polyurethane Industry Development Promotion Center, invited expert of Shanghai New Materials Association, and distinguished professor of Shanghai Institute of Applied Technology.

When it comes to the top experts in China’s polyurethane industry, the name of Professor Huang will not be ignored. The old man sitting in front of the reporter does not seem to have entered his seventies. Instead, he talked about his indissoluble bond with polyurethane in a loud and impassioned voice.

Talking about career – “My whole life is closely connected with polyurethane business”

Professor Huang’s study, work and research always revolve around polyurethane. After retiring, he is still tireless and dedicated, paying attention to the development status and future of China’s polyurethane industry.
Professor Huang summed up four characteristics of the development status of China’s polyurethane industry: that is, the consumption of polyurethane products maintains a rapid development speed, polyurethane raw materials show a rapid development momentum, international chemical companies will The investment focus of the global polyurethane industry has shifted to China, and six regional distributions of the polyurethane industry have been formed. Therefore, he believes that China’s polyurethane industry can maintain a relatively rapid development.
Among them, Professor Huang first proposed the concept of the distribution of China’s polyurethane industry. He believes that the Yangtze River Delta region dominated by Shanghai and the Bohai Rim region dominated by Yantai Wanhua include The northern polyurethane industrial zone in Huludao, and the southwestern region mainly in Chongqing, these three regions will become the leaders driving the development of polyurethane in China in the future.
Regarding the future of China’s polyurethane industry, Professor Huang believes that polyurethane products are closely related to the national economy and people’s living standards, and the production capacity of the polyurethane industry will be further expanded, coupled with strong chemical industry support, Therefore, even affected by the financial crisis and the US debt crisis, my country’s polyurethane industry will continue to maintain a rapid development momentum.
Professor Huang was the first to put forward: “The core technology of polyurethane industry is isocyanate technology. Whoever masters the core technology of isocyanate will have the initiative of polyurethane.” The rapid development of China’s isocyanate industry in recent years has been verified.
For Chinese enterprises, Professor Huang also proposed the future development direction: “In the future, the development of polyurethane must take the road of globalization and internationalization. Get out.”

On Academics – “I Want Justice for Polyurethane Insulation”

In response to the recent controversy over polyurethane insulation materials, Professor Huang boldly put forward his own point of view: “The new standard combines the fire safety performance of external insulation materials with the The energy-saving performance of buildings is opposed, and the evaluation of organic thermal insulation materials is not correct, and it does not conform to the national conditions of our country, resulting in misunderstandings.”
In order to rectify the name of polyurethane thermal insulation materials, Professor Huang used a The academic conscience of experts and scholars shouted: “Please return polyurethane insulation materials a fair face, I am duty-bound to do so.”

Memories of life – “My success is inseparable from the support and help of others”

Recalling the journey along the way, Professor Huang was grateful: “My success has left� Turn on the support and help of others. “Whether it’s Liu Guoxiong, Chen Rongsheng, and Wang Beihai who were working in the 42nd Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation; or Zhang Rongbing, Li Junxian, and Weng Hanyuan who were working with Liming Chemical Research Institute; Lu Qiting, Lu Jiashen, Shen Liping, Qian Yongqin, Xu Jiayue, Jia Runping; every good teacher and helpful friend on the road of life is deeply imprinted in Professor Huang’s heart. The common pursuit and cooperation in academics makes their friendship more lasting and stronger.

Message from Dao——Ask for Tiantian Chemical Network

Now, Professor Huang is turning more energy to the real industry, working with students and assistants to study innovative applications of polyurethane elastomers and water-based polyurethanes in new fields, and strives to serve the industry, Do more practical things for the country. Talking about the hope for the development of Tiantian Chemical Network, Professor Huang proposed: “We should pay attention to the national pillar industries, strategic emerging industries, especially the new chemical material industry, and combine our own development with the lifeline of the country.” From Huang Lao’s In the earnest hope, we also saw an old expert’s endless pursuit of career and deep love for the country.
