Jiangyin Dongli New Materials Technology: Innovating to Safeguard the "Black Armor" on the ROBOCON Field

In July, the heat in Jiangyin was intense, matching the fervor on the ground. The 2025 National College Student Robot Contest (ROBOCON) was in full swing at the Jiangyin Campus of Nanjing University of Science and Technology. The arena was not just a battleground of wit and technology but also a test of equipment limits. During the fierce competition, the carbon fiber connector of the Xi'an Jiaotong University team delaminated, and the carbon fiber hook of the Nanjing University of Science and Technology Jiangyin Campus team fractured under continuous high-intensity stress – a critical moment where a company from Jiangyin's Gushan town stepped up, providing solid support with its professional expertise and efficient response.

The Arena is the Battleground, Equipment Failure is the Command

As an invited exhibitor, Jiangyin Dongli New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. quickly activated its emergency response mechanism upon learning about the equipment damage to the two teams. The company immediately allocated high-performance carbon fiber raw materials, organized technical experts overnight to analyze the structures and design repair solutions, and committed to providing free emergency support for the competition.

"We treat the competition field as our examination hall and equipment faults as our research topics," stated a representative from Dongli New Materials. Within 24 hours, the team completed the curing, machining, and quality inspection of the required connector for the Xi'an Jiaotong University team, delivering it to the venue promptly. The carbon fiber hook for the NJUST Jiangyin Campus team was also scheduled for delivery the next day. This "track speed" response not only demonstrated the company's support for youth science and innovation initiatives but also showcased its technical confidence in the field of high-performance composite materials.

Big Technology Behind Small Components

Jiangyin Dongli New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2018. Despite being a relatively young company, it has built a comprehensive industrial chain encompassing "weaving - prepreg - curing - precision machining," establishing itself as a quality supplier of high-performance fiber composite materials in Jiangsu Province.

The company specializes in the weaving of specialty fibers like carbon fiber and aramid, and the research & development of composite material products. Its applications span aerospace, high-speed trains, emergency rescue, new energy vehicles, and more. The rapid-curing processes and high-strength fiber hybrid weaving technologies utilized in this ROBOCON support mission are a testament to the company's years of refining "big technology" within "small components."

From Humble Beginnings to "Black Armor"

Starting with a single fiber weaving line, Dongli New Materials progressively constructed a complete composite material production line within just a few years. The company has mastered the hybrid weaving process of high-strength carbon fiber and aramid, introducing lightweight composite panels and special-shaped structural parts that have found applications in aviation, automotive, robotics, and other fields.

Particularly noteworthy is the company's original rapid-curing process, which compresses the delivery cycle for special-shaped parts from several weeks down to "next-day delivery." In the newly built smart workshop in Gushan, rolls of seemingly ordinary black fiber yarn undergo processes like prepreg, hot pressing, and CNC precision machining, transforming into "black armor" that is lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel, becoming critical components in robotics, new energy, and high-end equipment.

Accelerating Innovation, Planning for the Future

Dongli New Materials insists on locating its "laboratory" right next to the production line, constantly breaking delivery limits through process innovation. Currently, the company's main products include carbon fiber woven fabric, ballistic-grade aramid fabric, new energy battery pack covers, hydrogen storage tank winding materials, among others, supplying components for major national projects like domestic large aircraft and high-speed trains.

Looking forward, the company will continue to increase investment in industry-university-research collaboration, exploring new frontiers such as recyclable fibers and 3D printed continuous fibers, striving to be an innovation engine in the field of high-performance composite materials.

"We see this competition as an opportunity to deepen cooperation with more universities, using 'small components' to support 'big technology' and safeguarding the innovative dreams of more young people," expressed Dongli New Materials, reaffirming its commitment to demonstrating "Gushan enterprise responsibility" and moving steadfastly on the path of Chinese intelligent manufacturing and new material innovation.
