Technology Reaches International Advanced Level, Accelerating Global Market Expansion
QINGDAO, China, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from iQingdao: Recently, the "Low-Carbon Industrialized Complete Technology and Equipment for Functional Nanofiber Nonwoven Materials" independently developed by Surforce (Qingdao) Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Surforce Technology Group") has passed authoritative appraisal, with the overall technology reaching internationally advanced levels. This breakthrough not only resolves the worldwide challenge of electrospinning industrialization but also provides the global market with a fluorine-free, environmentally friendly PTFE alternative solution, leveraging the cost advantages brought by mass production.
Since its establishment in 2003, Surforce Technology Group has remained dedicated to the R&D and industrial application of advanced materials. Through years of technological accumulation, the company has built China's first ten-million-meter-scale nanofiber factory, with an annual production capacity of 20 to 30 million meters.
In 2025, the Group received high-level national and industry recognition in this field: Won Second Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress from the China National Textile and Apparel Council; Awarded the "Top Ten Textile Technologies in China" achievement title; Selected for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's 2025 Key Products and Processes "End-to-End" Application Plan and the Qingdao Municipal Science and Technology Bureau's Key Technology Research Projects.
The Group's core product, "Surforce Nanofiber Membrane," features extremely large specific surface area, excellent mechanical properties, composite structural performance, and special physical and chemical characteristics. It can be produced using various raw materials and is widely applied in new energy, high-end filtration, consumer electronics, and textile sectors. The product serves as a separator material for semi-solid-state batteries, high-end filtration (high-temperature gas dust collection) material, and waterproof breathable material for consumer electronics. In the textile field, this product overcomes the limitations of traditional PTFE and TPU membranes in terms of breathability and elasticity, driving the extension of protective clothing into daily functional apparel. The company has already established partnerships with renowned domestic and international brands.
The Group places strong emphasis on R&D investment and intellectual property system development. It currently holds 25 authorized patents at home and abroad, has passed TÜV Rheinland certification, and obtained internationally authoritative certifications including ISO 9001, OEKO-TEX, and GRS.
In response to global opportunities in the new materials industry, the Group will continue to deepen its full-chain innovation system and promote the large-scale application of high-performance nanofiber materials. "We will remain technology-driven, committed to bringing Chinese nanomaterials to the world and providing global customers with cost-effective, environmentally friendly solutions," said a senior executive of Surforce Technology Group.

Surforce Technology Group Achieves Major Breakthrough in Functional Nanofiber Nonwoven Materials
HONG KONG, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LiberNovo proudly announces that the LiberNovo Omni has been awarded the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 in the Product Design – Beauty/Wellness category. The chair represents LiberNovo's breakthrough approach to Dynamic Ergonomics. The iF DESIGN AWARD is widely regarded as one of the most respected awards in international design and recognizes innovative, functional, and user-centric designs.
Revolutionizing Ergonomics
The LiberNovo Omni was designed to revolutionize how people sit during long work hours. Unlike other office chairs that force people into unnatural positions and postures, the LiberNovo Omni introduces a new category of seating, the Dynamic Ergonomic Chair.
The chair supports your body as you naturally move throughout the day, so you can always adjust your position freely and still receive continuous support.
The LiberNovo Omni solves one of the biggest problems facing today's work environment. As work has become more and more desk-based, people are spending more time than ever before sitting. Traditional office chairs are designed for stationary use and often don't accommodate body movement, leading to lower back discomfort and strain.
Technologies Behind the Award-Winning Design
At the core of the LiberNovo Omni's design is Dynamic Support, LiberNovo's adaptive support system that automatically adjusts to posture changes in real time. Instead of requiring users to manually readjust their chairs throughout the day, Dynamic Support continuously responds to body movement, helping maintain balance and ergonomic alignment without interruption.
The chair also features LiberNovo's Bionic FlexFit Backrest, an advanced ergonomic structure that contours to the natural curvature of the spine. Using multiple pivot points and adaptive panels, the backrest distributes pressure evenly across the back while allowing natural motion. This approach provides consistent support from the hips through the shoulders, creating a seating experience that adapts to the individual rather than forcing the individual to adapt to the chair.
The LiberNovo Omni also incorporates multiple recline modes, allowing users to shift naturally between focused work and more relaxed postures while maintaining continuous ergonomic support. For deeper recovery, the chair includes OmniStretch, a guided decompression feature that gently stretches the lower spine and helps relieve pressure accumulated during prolonged sitting.
Together, these technologies define a new approach to ergonomic seating built around movement, adaptability, and long-term physical support.
Design Philosophy
The development of the LiberNovo Omni focused on solving a longstanding challenge in chair design: balancing softness, structural support, and freedom of movement. Traditionally, improving one of these qualities has meant compromising another. The LiberNovo Omni was engineered to bring these elements together in a single system, combining comfort, stability, and natural mobility.
This approach reflects LiberNovo's broader philosophy: the tools we use every day should work with the human body rather than against it. In modern work environments, productivity should not come at the expense of long-term health.
Design Collaboration
The chair was developed by the LiberNovo design team in Shenzhen, China, in collaboration with Kairos Innovation, an industrial design firm based there. Together, the teams focused on creating an ergonomic system that maintains support across the wide range of positions people naturally adopt while working throughout the day.
About the iF DESIGN AWARD
Established in 1954, the iF DESIGN AWARD is an internationally recognized standard for measuring design quality. Entries are selected using strict evaluation criteria, including innovation, functionality, ergonomics, and overall design impact.
In 2026, over 10,000 entries from more than 60 countries were submitted for consideration for the iF DESIGN AWARD. All entries were evaluated by an independent group of international design professionals, making the iF DESIGN AWARD one of the most highly respected design awards available today.
Looking Ahead
Receiving the iF DESIGN AWARD is a significant milestone for LiberNovo, demonstrating the company's continued commitment to advancing ergonomic seating design.
The iF DESIGN AWARD highlights the increasing importance of designing workplace solutions that enable workers to be productive and support their long-term physical health and wellness.
As workspaces continue to evolve, LiberNovo believes seating should move away from static support systems toward more dynamic, human-centered designs.
The LiberNovo Omni embodies this vision by shifting ergonomic design away from static seating, creating a chair that adapts to the user rather than requiring the user to adapt to the chair.
About LiberNovo
LiberNovo is a design and technology company focused on advancing ergonomic innovation for modern work environments. Through a combination of advanced engineering and human-centered design, the company develops intelligent products that respond to the evolving ways people work and interact with their surroundings.
