With her initiative to adjust the compound formulation of the TBR T86 Innerliner, Ms. Võ Ngọc Đài Trang, Deputy Head of Engineering at the Radial Tyre Factory, The Southern Rubber Industry Joint Stock Company (CASUMINA), has helped optimise raw material costs and enhance production efficiency, delivering savings of over VND 496 million. She is among those awarded the Creative Labour Certificate 2025 by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour.
A research team in India has developed a two-stage process combining a deep eutectic solvent (DES) and bacteria to break down waste tire rubber. The approach could offer an additional route for recycling end-of-life tires, complementing existing mechanical and thermal methods.
South Korean scientists have applied semiconductor fabrication techniques to create nanotube structures on copper foil, helping lithium deposit more uniformly and suppressing the formation of dendrites that can damage batteries. The technology offers a potential pathway to developing anode-free batteries with higher energy density without adding extra material weight.
With her initiative to digitalise the information exchange process between PINACO, suppliers, and factories via the Supplier Portal, Ms. Nguyễn Thị Hồng Nguyệt, Head of Applications in the IT Department at Dry Cell & Storage Battery Joint Stock Company (PINACO), was awarded the Creative Labour Certificate 2025 by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour. This initiative has improved order management efficiency, reduced processing times, and generated practical economic value for the business.
Chinese researchers have developed an electrochemical process that converts hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in natural gas into potassium sulfate fertilizer, instead of recovering sulfur through conventional methods. The experimental system operated continuously for 100 hours, offering a potential way to turn a toxic gas into a higher-value product.
Beyond cleaning, detergents are being redesigned to support protein research, drug discovery and drug delivery. A series of new studies points to deliberate molecular design, although most of the work is still at the laboratory stage.
With a sense of responsibility, innovative thinking, and a proactive approach to research and technical improvement from practical production, Mr. Văn Hồng Sơn, General Director of Van Dien Fused Phosphate Fertiliser Joint Stock Company, has successfully developed and implemented a blast furnace insulation kiln technology innovation, delivering savings in excess of VND 10.46 billion. In recognition of this achievement, he was awarded the Creative Labour Certificate
