稳定币条例下的隐形巨头:百仕达的真实价值

香港,2025年6月26日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 6月25日,港股国泰君安国际(01788.HK)因获批虚拟资产交易牌照,股价出现显著上涨,单日涨幅近200%,成交164亿港元位居港股第一。这一火热市场反应,充分显示初投资者对香港即将于8月1日正式生效的《稳定币条例》以及虚拟资产交易的关注和热情。在此背景下,投资者不断深挖港股上市公司的相关布局,而隐藏在市场已经发掘的利好股背后,百仕达控股(01168.HK)或成为下一个市场关注热点。从地产巨头到科技先锋:百仕达的战略跃迁不同于市场的普遍认知,早在行业混沌期,百仕达便果断开启了战略转型。2013年,公司作为创始股东投资众安在线(06060.HK)(持股5.51%),奠定保险科技基因;2017年通过合资企业众安国际(持股43.50%)全资控股众安银行,于2019年斩获香港首批数字银行牌照。《稳定币条例》对发行人提出了严格的要求,包括2500万港元最低资本、100%储备资产隔离及实时赎回机制等。百仕达旗下的众安银行,凭借其作为持牌数字银行的技术能力和合规基础,已为圆币科技、渣打银行等机构提供法币储备托管服务,并成为香港金融管理局"Ensemble沙盒计划"的首批参与者。这使其在稳定币新规生效前,已具备一定的先发基础设施优势。金融科技增长极:百仕达布局众安生态的价值释放作为香港八家持牌数字银行之一,众安银行截至2024年末总资产达223亿港币,位居行业首位。众安银行拥有超过80万零售用户和3,000家企业客户,其中包括200多家Web3生态企业,显示出其在数字金融领域的强大市场渗透力。值得一提的是,众安银行早在2023年便提出"Banking for Web3"的战略愿景,比《稳定币条例》出台早两年有余。目前众安银行已打通虚拟资产交易、法币兑换与跨境支付闭环,成为亚洲首家提供多元化金融服务的持牌数字银行。随着政策落地,众安银行的技术储备和牌照资源将全面激活。政策红利下的爆发点:稳定币生态的潜在影响与机遇稳定币技术被认为有潜力显著提升跨境支付效率,例如将传统电汇成本从10-50美元/笔降低至1美元以下,结算时间从天级缩短至分钟级。这为解决传统金融体系的高成本和低效率问题提供了新的可能性。国际机构如渣打、京东等已进入金管局沙盒测试相关应用,花旗集团预测2030年全球稳定币市场规模可能达到1.6-3.7万亿美元。在这一发展趋势中,百仕达通过众安银行等平台,涉足了稳定币生态的多个关键环节,包括合规托管、交易入口以及探索真实世界资产代币化(RWA)。这种布局使其角色从传统地产商,扩展至参与虚拟资产基础设施建设。其潜在的商业模式可能从依赖"土地溢价",转向获取"合规服务溢价"和"交易流量溢价"。百仕达:稳定币东风下的双重价值驱动与重估契机当传统券商因一张牌照暴涨时,百仕达已编织出一张覆盖数字银行、稳定币基建与RWA代币化的生态网络。随着香港《稳定币条例》的实施和Web3生态的发展,百仕达凭借其先期战略转型和在合规金融科技领域的布局,该公司的投资价值已呈现出显著的多层次特征。当前,百仕达的市值在很大程度上仍基于其传统地产业务的估值模型,不仅其持有的可快速变现的显性资产受到严重低估,同时还忽略了其持有的众安国际股权(价值约43.8亿港元)、众安在线股权(价值约15.6亿港元)。另外,百仕达通过众安银行在香港金融科技、特别是即将到来的稳定币市场中所占据的战略性地位,其价值也尚未被市场充分认知和定价。这种信息不对称,恰恰为前瞻性投资者提供了潜在的价值发现机遇。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

港股“香水第一股”颖通控股(06883)今日正式挂牌

香港,2025年6月26日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 今日(6月26日),港股市场迎来"香水第一股"颖通控股(06883.HK)正式挂牌交易!这家中国顶级香水集团在招股阶段已展现强劲吸引力,超额认购达36倍,更传获多家基金追捧,市场反应热烈,反映投资者对其高端香水赛道的长期看好。自1987年将第一瓶香水引入中国内地以来,颖通控股已与国际奢侈品牌建立起长期合作关系 - 与InterParfums合作超过30年运营Coach、Ferragamo等品牌,与EuroItalia携手15年打理Versace、Moschino等奢侈品牌,与顶级奢华品牌Hermès的合作年期更长达15年。这种深度绑定模式,让颖通在中国高端香水市场占据绝对主导地位。再观其覆盖广泛的全渠道销售网络。公司已构建起覆盖400+个城市、拥有8,000+家线下销售网站的庞大销售点,同时线上渠道亦表现出色。从百货到化妆品连锁店,由电商到免税和跨境渠道,颖通旗下的品牌无处不在。全渠道的销售策略背景下,不仅提升了品牌的市场渗透率,亦确保公司产品能够迅速触达消费者,满足其多元化需求。招股书显示,颖通控股拟将港股IPO募集资金用于收购或投资外部品牌,进一步丰富产品线。公司表示希望能与源头方一起并购品牌,实现全球市场的共同增长。该类全球化的视野和布局,为其未来持续增长提供了无限可能。尽管零售市场相对低迷,但颖通仍计划未来逆市3年新增100家线下门店,其中大部分瞄准二、三线城市,避开一线城市高昂租金,同时填补国际品牌在低线城市的市场空白,同时主抓90后至00后消费群体,因其香水消费需求受经济波动影响较小,且更倾向于「情绪价值」消费,支撑业绩稳健增长。目前,中国人均香水消费金额仅为欧美市场的十分之一,这个差距预示着巨大的增长空间。随着「悦己经济」的兴起和消费升级趋势的持续,香水正从奢侈品转变为日常必需品。过去三年间,公司护肤与彩妆业务展现惊人爆发力,年复合增长率高达56.1%,展现强劲的成长动能;同时维持50%以上的毛利率水准,更承诺不低于50%的派息比率。这种既能保持业务高速扩张,又能持续回馈股东的营运模式,在成长型企业中实属难得一见,为市场提供了兼具资本增值与稳定收益的绝佳选择。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

超900倍认购创纪录!海天味业港股上市创纪录 开启全球化新篇章

香港,2025年6月24日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 6月19日,A股调味品龙头海天味业(03288.HK;603288.SH)在港交所敲响上市铜锣,成为行业首家「A+H」双上市企业。最终发售价厘定为36.30港元,发行规模超14亿美元。海天味业此次登陆港股,在资本市场引发了热烈反响,香港公开发行获超900倍认购创纪录,成为2022年以来港股超10亿美元规模IPO的"认购王"。海天味业是百年传承、引领创新、着眼全球的中国调味品龙头企业,致力于向用户提供健康、美味、便捷的调味品消费体验,主要产品包括酱油、蚝油、调味酱、特色调味品及其他。根据弗若斯特沙利文的资料,按2024年的收入计,公司是中国调味品行业的绝对领导者,亦是全球前五的调味品企业。其在中国调味品市场排行首位,市场份额超过第二名两倍以上。按销量计,已连续28年蝉联中国最大调味品企业。明星IPO登陆港股,众星捧月创造多个「第一」自1月13日递表港交所,到5月23日通过聆讯,再到6月19日正式挂牌,海天味业仅用五个月左右的时间,便完成了港股上市。而在这背后,海天味业作为调味品龙头的优质性与稀缺性,也受到市场高度认可。多年来,海天味业在调味品行业一直居于领先地位,兼具规模与增长,2013-2024年,营业收入复合增长率达到11.2%,是全球调味品头部企业中唯一实现双位数增长的企业。最近10年,净利率持续超过20%。同时,公司致力于持续为股东创造回报,近10年累计分红超过人民币290亿元,平均年化分红率超过60%。是次上市,海天味业的公开发售部分与国际配售部分分别录得918.15倍、22.93倍超额认购,不但受到个人投资者热烈追捧,也获国际长线资金积极抢筹,表明投资者对其业务及前景充满信心。大热之下,海天味业的发售量调整权已获全面行使,增发6%股份,成为2025年规模第二大的港股IPO(假设绿鞋全额行使,下同),2025年全球消费行业规模第一大的IPO,2021年以来全球食品饮料行业规模第一大的IPO,以及近25年来来全球调味品行业规模第一大的IPO。提升港股资产质量及活跃度,树立A to H示范效应综览市场环境,上半年港股市场流动性显著改善,表现全球领先。港交所官网数据显示,2025年首5个月港股市场的平均每日成交金额为2,423亿港元,较去年同期的1,102亿港元上升120%。5月份的平均每日成交金额为2,103亿港元,较去年同期的1,398亿港元上升50%。尤其是,南向资金持续加仓港股市场,今年以来累计净流入超6,700亿港元,创历史同期新高。中信证券认为,优质企业赴港上市将进一步提升港股市场的资产质量及流动性水平,南向资金或也将持续流入港股市场带来支撑。像海天味业这样已完成或正计划「A+H」两地上市的企业多为细分领域龙头,具备较强稀缺性,可以吸引国际资本持续流入,使市场形成良性循环。作为机构公认的中长期配置主线之一,消费龙头素来受到市场青睐。海天味业不仅是有着百年发展底蕴的中国调味品龙头,也是A股市场的质优标杆。公司拥有强大的战略定力与市场开拓能力。在品类拓展上,公司一方面持续巩固酱油、蚝油、调味酱等核心存量业务优势,通过产品迭代升级保持稳健增长;另一方面积极布局新兴品类,同时深度切入有机、薄盐、无麸质等健康营养赛道,推动单一品类向全品类覆盖延伸,不断拓宽增长边界。在渠道拓展领域,公司凭借强大的渠道网络与丰富的产品矩阵,持续挖掘下沉市场潜力,将高品质调味品输送到更广阔的消费场景。在品类拓展和渠道下沉战略的深入推进下,海天味业自2014年A股上市以来业绩保持稳步增长,从上市初期人民币98亿元的营收规模,一路增长至到2024年约人民币269亿元,实现阶梯式跨越,其经营实力已远超调味品行业其他企业,行业龙头地位持续巩固。海天受投资者及国际长线资金青睐,得益于海天味业已经在A股上市的基础优势。对香港资本市场而言,海天味业的上市,有助于提升市场活跃度,增强香港资本市场的国际影响力,同时具有示范效应,料将带动更多A股龙头企业赴港上市,为多赢之举。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

云知声港股招股:冲刺港股AGI第一股

香港,2025年6月24日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 当AI赛道进入精耕细作的深水区,市场对「真正能实现规模化落地」的 AI 企业给予更高的关注。 作为中国领先的对话式AI解决方案提供商,云知声智能科技股份有限公司(「云知声」)以技术为基、以场景为根,向资本市场展示了一条兼具技术深度与商业广度的成长路径,成为AGI时代的引领者。6月20日,这家AI领域的黑马开启港股招股。 本次IPO,云知声(9678. HK)拟全球发售1,560,980股H股,每股发售价介乎165港元至205港元,预期于6月30日登陆联交所主板。 中金、海通国际担任联席保荐人。自研基座夯实 AI工业化能力,技术优势全栈打通云知声早在2016年就前瞻性布局了Atlas AI基建体系,Atlas的智算集群目前已拥有超184 PFLOPS的算力和10PB以上的存储能力,并可实现数千个GPU动态调度,为大模型训练和部署提供高效能支撑。 这种基础能力的自建,意味着其不依赖第三方计算资源,有能力在大模型热潮中持续高频迭代,抢占产业先发高地。其中央技术平台云知大脑以山海大模型为核心,具备超600亿参数的生成式多模态能力,集成自然语言理解、知识推理和多模态感知生成等AI核心技术,能够胜任复杂人机交互与任务理解。 同时,搭载行业知识图谱,使模型具备更强产业理解力,在实际业务中落地效果更加精准,提升了实用性。 「云知大脑」进一步集成大模型与AI组件,通过集成芯片、云端部署、边缘SDK等方式实现灵活交付,打通AI从「模型」到「产品」的中台通路,使AI真正具备「工业化可复制」的能力。这套从底层算力到垂直大模型的自研体系,使云知声构建起横跨底层到应用的全栈AI技术架构,并为客户提供稳定、可控、可定制的AI服务,为其构筑技术护城河的同时,也为其商业化和规模化铺平了路径。垂直场景深耕,打造「能落地」的 AI 解决方案样板若说技术是起点,那么落地能力决定了企业商业成色。 云知声的核心竞争力之一,就是将技术优势转化为行业级场景价值,尤其是在「日常生活AI」和「医疗AI」两大高频场景中,打造出具可复制性的解决方案样板。在「日常生活AI」场景中,其AI语音交互系统已落地至深圳地铁20号线,乘客仅需语音对话便可完成购票流程,平均作时长从15秒缩短至1.5秒,显著提升运营效率与用户体验。 2024年,公司日常生活解决方案营收超过人民币7亿元,占比接近八成,是推动业绩增长的核心引擎。 此外,云知声通过MaaS业务模式,逐步释放模型能力,支持客户和开发者按需接入大语言模型API,并向IoT终端、AI芯片等硬件层延伸,从而构建起应用层生态闭环。在「医疗AI」领域,云知声提供从病历语音输入、病历质控、单一疾病质控到医疗保险支付管理的多种AI解决方案,借助自然语言理解与临床知识图谱,帮助医生提升录入效率4~6倍,减少80%质控审核时间。 至2024年,云知声已服务166家医疗机构,正伴随中国医疗智能化改革而快速渗透。这些可量化、可迭代、可推广的应用场景,不仅验证了云知声大模型的真实效用,也推动其在垂直行业中快速实现规模复制。 相比仅依赖通用模型能力的AI玩家,云知声在「场景打通-回馈训练-模型迭代」的闭环中,掌握了AI产品化的加速引擎。当下,AI产业迈入深水区,市场正在重新定义「AI企业」的核心价值:不仅是模型参数的比拼,更是能否真正穿透场景、落地客户、实现商业闭环。 云知声用自研AI基础设施、大模型和深耕场景应用的路径,实现从底层算力支撑到顶层场景交付的闭环能力,使其成为AI商业化路径中的稀缺样本。 随着中国AI市场的持续增长,云知声凭借在AGI赛道的先发布局与实际落地,将持续受益于场景需求爆发和平台能力外溢,具备穿越周期、实现长期价值释放的潜力。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Founders Metals Hits 22.5 m of 11.88 g/t Gold in New Discovery at Maria Geralda ACN Newswire

Founders Metals Hits 22.5 m of 11.88 g/t Gold in New Discovery at Maria Geralda

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - June 24, 2025) - Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) ("Founders" or the "Company") announces a new high-grade gold discovery at its Antino Gold Project ("Antino" or "Project") in southeastern Suriname (Figure 1). The Company reports a 22.5 metre (m) interval of 11.88 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) at Maria Geralda, a new exploration target approximately 5 km SE of Lower Antino. The drilling follows up on systematic surface exploration, including prospecting, mapping, and augering programs that identified a 500 m by 400 m gold anomaly at surface.HighlightsFirst-ever drilling at Maria Geralda delivers exceptional results with 22.5 m of 11.88 g/t Au (MG003)Discovery validates systematic exploration approach with auger sampling identifying a 500 m by 400 m gold anomaly at surface where 54% of samples returned assays above 0.1 g/t AuSignificant expansion potential with the discovery zone open along strike and to depth, supporting plans for follow-up drilling in 2025Colin Padget, President & CEO of Founders, commented, "While weather has limited our access to other exploration targets recently, we were pleased to maintain ready access to Maria Geralda and follow up on early surface results. This outstanding start to drilling at Maria Geralda further validates our exploration approach across the 200 km² Antino land package. The 22.5 m interval grading 11.88 g/t Au represents some of the highest-grade mineralization we've encountered to date. These results demonstrate the substantial discovery potential that exists beyond the property's current established zones. Between this discovery, recent expansions at Upper and Lower Antino, and our ongoing 2025 exploration program, we see significant opportunity to build shareholder value."Maria Geralda is located along a major structural corridor on a northwest-trending lineament at the geologic boundary between intrusive rocks and mixed metavolcanic-metasedimentary formations. The discovery hole was designed to test the geochemical anomaly identified through the Company's auger sampling program. Founders plans to follow-up with systematic step-out drilling to define the extent of mineralization along strike and to depth.About Founders Metals Inc.Founders Metals is a Canadian-based exploration company focused on advancing the Antino Gold Project located in Suriname, South America, in the heart of the Guiana Shield.

Two new microalgae genera discovered in Indonesian waters ACN Newswire

Two new microalgae genera discovered in Indonesian waters

MALANG, E. JAVA, Indonesia, June 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A research team from Brawijaya University (UB) has identified two new microalgae genera in the waters around Bawean Island, Gresik Regency, East Java, and Tomini Bay, Central Sulawesi.Lecturer of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) Oktiyas Muzaky Luthfi, S.T., M.Sc. while conducting research on an object. (ANTARA/HO-Humas Universitas Brawijaya)"The newly identified microalgae genera are Paracatenula and Wallaceago," head of the research team and lecturer at UB’s Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Oktiyas Muzaky Luthfi stated in Malang, East Java, on Friday.The genus name Wallaceago was chosen to honor Alfred Russel Wallace -- a renowned naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, and expert on species distribution.Each of the two new genera also includes newly identified species: Paracatenula porostriata and Wallaceago porostriatus.Discovered near Bawean Island, Paracatenula porostriata is characterized by a circular shell structure with small pores and a flat valve.Meanwhile, Wallaceago porostriatus, found in Tomini Bay, has valves that are partially diamond-shaped with fine lines on the lower surface.These discoveries have already been published in an international scientific journal.In addition to Paracatenula and Wallaceago, the UB team also identified several new species within the genera Catenula and Catenulopsis.According to a summary of the published journal, four new species were found in the genus Catenula: Catenula boyanensis, Catenula komodensis, Catenula decusa, and Catenula densestriata.These species were discovered in Bawean Island, Tiga Warna Beach in Malang, East Java, and Tomini Bay, Central Sulawesi.One more species identified under the genus Catenulopsis was named Catenulopsis baweana."We discovered it in Bawean, which is why it is named baweana," Luthfi explained.The research and identification process took place from 2021 to 2024, using both light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphological analysis.Researchers explored the diversity of diatoms from sediment and fragments of dead coral in reef environments.The study involved collaboration with several universities from different countries, including the University of Szczecin and the University of Rzeszów in Poland, as well as the University of Michigan in the United States.Luthfi emphasized that the discovery is important for sustaining life on Earth, as microalgae not only form the foundation of the food chain but also play a vital role in oxygen production."Microalgae are responsible for generating 20 percent of the Earth’s oxygen," he noted.He remarked that this discovery provides a foundation for monitoring marine environments, studying tropical aquatic ecology, and conducting paleoecological research."This proves that Indonesia’s oceans harbor an abundance of microscopic life that we have yet to fully understand," he concluded.For more information please click: https://ub.ac.idBrawijaya University: https://prasetya.ub.ac.idEditor : A Malik Ibrahim, Copyright (c) ANTARA 2025 Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

华领医药在2025ADA科学年会公布多格列艾汀与DPP-4抑制剂联用在恢复血糖稳态的同时有望降低血脂

上海 ,2025年6月23日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 华领医药("公司",香港联交所股份代号:2552.HK)今天宣布,第85届美国糖尿病协会(ADA)科学年会上,公司展示了其全球首创新药葡萄糖激酶激活剂(GKA)多格列艾汀(dorzagliatin)的最新研究成果。一项基础动物研究表明,多格列艾汀联合DPP-4抑制剂西格列汀(Sitagliptin)使用可以改善血糖水平、促进胰岛素分泌、增强GLP-1分泌等,效果优于多格列艾汀单独用药。血液生化分析则显示,联合用药对于降低血脂(特别是LDL)有潜在获益(见图1)。多格列艾汀是华领医药自主研发的全球首创葡萄糖激酶激活剂,通过修复2型糖尿病患者受损的葡萄糖激酶(GK)功能和表达,提升2型糖尿病患者的葡萄糖敏感性,从而改善患者血糖稳态失调。西格列汀(Sitagliptin)是一款DPP-4抑制剂类降糖药,通过抑制GLP-1降解改善血糖控制。该研究旨在评估两药联用长期治疗对高脂饮食诱导肥胖/糖尿病(DIO)小鼠葡萄糖稳态的影响,为临床联合用药提供依据。研究对于DIO小鼠模型分别给予30 mg/kg/天的多格列艾汀单药或联合20 mg/kg/天的西格列汀治疗30天,以标准饮食小鼠作为对照。治疗30天后,小鼠血糖水平较治疗前显著改善,且联合用药治疗效果优于单独用药。多格列艾汀单独用药可促进胰岛素和GLP-1的分泌,联合用药进一步增强了这一效应。血液生化指标分析则显示,药物治疗显著改善了DIO小鼠的糖化血清蛋白(GSP),联合治疗还改善了低密度脂蛋白(LDL)水平。低密度脂蛋白将胆固醇运送至动脉,过量的低密度脂蛋白会造成动脉硬化、心肌梗塞、中风及周围动脉疾病等。这一结果表明,联合用药在恢复血糖稳态的同时,对于降低血脂(特别是LDL)有潜在获益,为临床用药和新适应症的拓展探索了可能性。(图1 血液生化指标 2025 ADA 893-P)另一项研究者发起的真实世界研究也在ADA年会上进行了展示。该研究是一项单中心前瞻性观察性研究,旨在评估多格列艾汀在2型糖尿病患者中的短期疗效及机制。中期分析显示,患者的糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)水平显著降低,连续血糖监测(CGM)指标改善,β细胞功能指标分析提示β细胞的胰岛素分泌功能得到保护(见图2)。重点分析数据如下:HbA1c:- 治疗3个月后,从基线水平8.1±1.2%显著降至7.3±1.1%,6个月时维持该水平(均p

New method to blend functions for soft electronics

Mixing two or three alkyl-π liquids can achieve the right combination of functions for soft electronics.TSUKUBA, Japan, June 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Soft electronics are an exciting and innovative class of technology that brings together bendable, stretchable semiconducting materials for applications in areas ranging from fashion to healthcare. Researchers have recently developed a new technique to adjust the properties of liquids that could be used to create soft electronics.Researchers successfully blended various combinations and proportions of three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, with no color variation within the material showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly.

Please credit the STAM Journal.Room-temperature alkylated-π molecular liquids (known as alkyl-π liquids) are an exciting new material that holds great promise for soft electronics. However, one challenge with these fascinating liquids lies in fine-tuning their physical, chemical, and electronic properties – including their ability to interact with light – to achieve the desired functionality.A new study, led by researchers from the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan, has explored a strategy for blending together alkyl-π liquids to merge their functions homogeneously. The researchers used photoluminescent color tuning to demonstrate how well the process has worked. Their findings have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.Previous efforts to control the properties of alkyl-π liquids have taken one of two approaches. The first involves incorporating small amounts of other molecules, such as dyes, into the liquid. “When modulating function by adding solid dopants, the dopant molecules have poor solubility, leading to insoluble aggregates and inconsistencies in properties such as luminescent color,” says Dr. Takashi Nakanishi of the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics at NIMS.The second approach involves chemically modifying the alkyl-π liquids. While this can achieve a uniform result, designing and synthesising entirely new molecules is difficult and less time- and cost-effective.In the new study, researchers synthesised three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, and then they blended the liquids together in varying proportions. They successfully created a range of homogeneous liquid blends of colors with no color variation within the material, showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly.The team also assessed how well the two liquids had mixed by changing the temperature and studying how the flow of the mixed liquids changed over time at different temperatures. This approach further confirmed that the liquids were successfully blended together.“The liquid–liquid blending method implemented in this study for alkyl-π liquids facilitates the production of low-volatility, ink-like materials that exhibit a diverse spectrum of uniform luminescent colors, devoid of any color unevenness,” Dr. Nakanishi says. “This means it will be possible to apply or coat the desired function with simple operations such as painting, sandwiching, or soaking the liquid materials wherever needed.”The research opens the path to blending alkyl-π liquids to vary other functions, such as photoconductivity, charge retention, or gas sensing.Further informationTakashi NakanishiNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nakanishi.takashi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2025.2515007About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM)Open access journal STAM publishes outstanding research articles across all aspects of materials science, including functional and structural materials, theoretical analyses, and properties of materials. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM Dr. Kazuya SaitoSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.
