Recently, the chairman of Zhejiang Coloray Technology Development Co., Ltd., together with the company’s senior management team, visited Tsinghua University and held in-depth discussions with Associate Researcher Wan Sen’s team from the Institute for Brain and Cognitive Sciences and the Laboratory of Imaging and Intelligent Technology.

The two sides focused on Coloray’s technological accumulation and material innovation in the field of pearlescent pigments, exploring potential collaboration opportunities in brain-computer interface (BCI) coatings, and reaching preliminary consensus on advancing industry-academia-research integration.

Coloray Strengthens Its Foundation in Functional Materials

As a national high-tech enterprise listed on Korea’s KOSDAQ, Coloray has long focused on the research, development, and production of pearlescent pigments and functional materials. The company operates advanced intelligent manufacturing facilities and R&D platforms, building a comprehensive product matrix covering both industrial-grade and cosmetic-grade effect pigments, with products exported worldwide.

Over the years, Coloray has maintained close collaborations with institutions such as Changzhou University and Seoul National University, accumulating extensive experience in cross-disciplinary technology integration and collaborative innovation.

Focusing on Material Requirements for Brain-Computer Interfaces

Brain-computer interface technology, as a frontier connecting the human brain with external devices, represents a core direction of next-generation information technology and human-machine interaction. It places stringent demands on materials, including biocompatibility, electrical conductivity, flexibility, and long-term stability.

Associate Researcher Wan Sen’s team has extensive expertise in this field, achieving significant theoretical and technological advancements. During the exchange, Coloray introduced its core capabilities in material design, surface coating, precision manufacturing, and intelligent factory development.

Key Discussion Areas

Both sides discussed the feasibility of applying pearlescent pigments, particularly how to integrate optical properties with flexible electronic technologies to enhance user experience and device integration.

Cross-Industry Exploration Reflects Strategic Vision

Although pearlescent pigments and brain-computer interfaces belong to different technological domains, they share common ground in pursuing material innovation, precise control, and the creation of new experiences and value.

This visit marks another cross-disciplinary exploration for Coloray and demonstrates the company’s forward-looking strategy in emerging material applications.

Expanding the Boundaries of Smart Material Applications

Coloray expressed its expectation to collaborate with leading research teams to further explore the application potential of pearlescent materials in life sciences, human-machine interaction, and other emerging fields.

This exchange signals that pearlescent materials may unlock new value in advanced technological scenarios, injecting greater vibrancy and innovation into the future of smart materials.
