The morning light shone over the carved window frames, and the rattan chairs swayed gently in the light and shadow. The silver haired old man looked at the pills handed over by the robotic arm, and his fingertips touched the warm silicone finger cots - the soft material that wrapped around the metal joints, simulating the touch of human skin with just the right elasticity.

This is not a shot from a science fiction movie, but a real-life scene that is happening. When the elderly care robot breaks through the glass curtain wall of the laboratory and enters the ordinary life of the elderly in the alleys, a warm revolution constructed from special polymer materials has quietly begun.

At every moment when robots touch human skin, silicone rubber writes the temperature code of technology. This elastic material composed of alternating arrangement of silicon oxygen bonds not only has the flexible touch of rubber, but also inherits the weather resistance of ceramics. When it is forged into the skin of a robotic arm, it can not only buffer the rigid collision of the metal skeleton, but also transmit a constant body temperature through precision designed thermal conductivity during each support.

Even better, its biocompatibility ensures that even long-term contact with fragile skin will not cause allergies, allowing rehabilitation robots to safely lift the limbs of disabled elderly people and companionship robots to embrace lonely souls with peace of mind.

The stringent requirements for material performance in elderly care scenarios are driving the continuous evolution of silicone rubber technology. The seal ring of the kit needs to withstand repeated disinfection and sterilization by alcohol wiping. The fixture of the feeding manipulator must withstand the acid and alkali erosion of food residues. The exoskeleton protector that is worn for a long time requires that the material can still retain memory after tens of thousands of times of bending.

Researchers have adjusted the cross-linking density of molecular chains to enable the same material to transform into a transparent monitoring patch, capturing the subtle pulsations of subcutaneous blood vessels in real-time; It can also form a tough protective layer like armor, building a safety barrier for the fall warning system. This kind of plasticity is like the traditional Chinese ink painting technique, blending infinite possibilities on the scroll of technology and humanities.
