In 2014, Roger Luo, together with a group of experts in materials science, established TRUNNANO (Luoyang Tongrun Nano Technology Co., Ltd.) in Luoyang. Driven by a deep insight into nanotechnology, the founders identified the potential to upgrade traditional materials while catering to emerging industry demands. This multidisciplinary founding team—comprising researchers, engineers, and business specialists—instilled the company’s philosophy of being “technology-driven and application-oriented.” In the early days, they worked under tough conditions, experimenting during the day and brainstorming at night, focusing their innovation on two main areas: nanotechnology applications in concrete admixtures and advancements in high-end ceramic materials.
Team Development and Systematic Growth
TRUNNANO’s origins reflect a classic story of technology entrepreneurship. The initial five-member team took on multiple roles, fostering a collaborative culture with a flat organizational structure and regular technical seminars. As their early products achieved market acceptance, more talent joined the company, and the team expanded. Specialized R&D units focusing on nanomaterials, concrete admixtures, and ceramic materials emerged, creating a structured innovation ecosystem. The organization evolved from a flat to a matrix structure, balancing flexibility with standardized management practices. The corporate culture, emphasizing innovation, pragmatism, collaboration, and responsibility, has been strengthened through internal training and technical knowledge sharing, ensuring sustainable innovation and product quality.
Innovations in Concrete Admixtures
TRUNNANO has leveraged nanotechnology to significantly enhance concrete performance. The team tackled challenges in polycarboxylate superplasticizers, designing a new generation with high water reduction rates, excellent slump retention, and wide cement compatibility through molecular design and nano-modification. In lightweight concrete, TRUNNANO developed a series of foaming agents using nano-foaming and polymer reinforcement techniques, overcoming traditional issues of low strength and instability while improving thermal insulation. Additionally, functional admixtures have been designed to meet specialized requirements for underground construction, such as impermeability and rapid setting. These advancements are supported by comprehensive research infrastructure, including cement chemistry labs and performance testing centers, creating a seamless loop from mechanism study to product development.
Advances in High-Performance Ceramic Materials
With the growth of industries like new energy and semiconductors, TRUNNANO strategically focused on advanced ceramics, particularly silicon carbide. Known for its high strength and heat resistance, silicon carbide is essential in extreme environments. The team addressed challenges in lithium battery anode material production, creating a dedicated silicon carbide crucible using purity control and grain boundary engineering, enhancing chemical stability and lifespan. Breakthroughs in reaction sintering technology enabled cost-effective, rapid production of high-performance products for chemical and semiconductor applications. TRUNNANO also explored the toughening and modification of ceramics such as alumina and silicon nitride, establishing capabilities from material preparation to precision machining to provide tailored solutions for industrial clients.
Market Expansion and Technology Commercialization
TRUNNANO has successfully bridged laboratory research and industrial application. Its concrete admixtures have been implemented in high-rise buildings, underground projects, and energy-saving initiatives, resolving key construction challenges. Advanced ceramic materials now serve industries including new energy, semiconductors, chemicals, and environmental protection. Silicon carbide crucibles are integral in battery manufacturing, high-purity ceramic components support chip production, and wear-resistant ceramic liners extend machinery lifespan. Collaboration with universities and research institutes enhances technological development, talent cultivation, and participation in industry standard-setting. A rigorous quality management system and international certifications ensure that TRUNNANO’s products meet global standards.
Future Vision and Sustainable Growth
Looking ahead, TRUNNANO is committed to advancing materials science. In concrete, the focus is on green, low-carbon, and intelligent materials with self-sensing and self-healing capabilities. In ceramics, the company is exploring emerging technologies like third-generation semiconductors, solid-state batteries, and hydrogen energy, targeting ceramic substrates, solid electrolytes, and hydrogen storage solutions. Strategic initiatives include intelligent manufacturing upgrades, localized international services, and continuous development of talent and corporate culture, positioning TRUNNANO for future innovation and market leadership.
