From October 21 to 24, 2026, the 6th China Conference on Composite Materials (CCCM-6), hosted by the Chinese Society for Composite Materials, together with the 9th Composite Materials Industry Innovation Achievement & Technology Exhibition (ICIE-9), was successfully held at the Chongqing Yuelai International Convention Center.

As the largest-scale, highest-academic-level and most influential flagship academic conference in China's composite materials field, this conference aims to explore the latest research achievements and application prospects in the field of composites. It has built a high-quality exchange ecosystem covering academic dialogue, achievement showcase and industry matchmaking, with 2 main venues and 46 parallel academic sessions, alongside concurrent events such as the International Frontier Forum on Composite Materials and an outstanding poster exhibition.

Amid this industry gathering, Protech took an active part. Dr. Johnny Zhou, Professor-level Senior Engineer, drawing on years of academic research and technical accumulation in high-performance composites, was invited to serve as one of the co-chairs of the E-05 parallel session on “Application of Composite Materials in Armor Protection.” He invited leading experts and scholars to make keynote reports on frontier progress, technological innovation and engineering practices, oversaw the session agenda throughout, advanced each presentation in an orderly manner, guided on-site Q&A interactions, and provided professional commentary that distilled key viewpoints and highlighted discussion points — effectively energizing the academic exchange and building a strong platform for peers. Meanwhile, Dr. Johnny Zhou presented an academic report titled “Influence of Mechanical Properties of UHMWPE Composites on Their Ballistic Performance,” offering an efficient pre-screening method for the R&D of UHMWPE fiber composites. During the conference, Protech's R&D team engaged in in-depth academic exchanges with industry peers, exploring the latest progress and market applications of advanced composite materials.

At the ICIE-9 Innovation Achievement Technology Showcase held alongside the conference, Protech prominently presented its independently developed protective composite materials and 3D composite materials. The ballistic composite materials demonstrated outstanding performance in lightweight design, high stiffness, and impact-deformation resistance, making them broadly applicable to fields such as security protection and high-end protection. Meanwhile, the 3D composite materials drew keen interest from attendees for their unique structural design and excellent properties. In particular, the 3D composite pipe fittings for the oil drilling sector deeply integrate a precision computer control system with independently developed intelligent fully automated production equipment, breaking through the limitations of traditional two-dimensional fabrics. While retaining the advantages of lightweight and corrosion resistance, they achieve high torsional resistance, fatigue resistance, and integrated one-piece forming of complex structures. These exhibits collectively showcased the company's R&D achievements, engineering cases, and innovative applications in materials development, attracting numerous attending experts and peers to visit and consult at the booth. On-site, the technical team engaged in communication and collaboration discussions with visiting guests on technical challenges, application scenarios, and cooperation directions.

This participation was an important opportunity for Protech to connect with industry frontiers, listen to market demands and expand industrial cooperation. In the future, Protech will continue to deepen its work in the field of composite materials, remain committed to technological innovation and keep refining its products and solutions, working together with industry partners to drive high-quality development of the industry.
