A few days ago, the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Shandong Provincial Youth Federation announced the results of the 27th "Shandong Youth May Fourth Medal" selection. The Dawn High-end Tire Barrier Material (DVA) Research Team won the 27th "Shandong Youth May Fourth Medal Collective". This was the first time that Dawn members had won this honor, which demonstrated the innovative spirit, sense of responsibility and enterprising style of Dawn youth in the new era.

According to reports, the Shandong Youth May Fourth Medal is the highest honor awarded to outstanding young people in Shandong Province by the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Shandong Provincial Youth Federation. This year's recipients of the Shandong Youth May Fourth Medal have demonstrated their dedication, commitment, and pioneering spirit in their respective fields, contributing their youthful energy to the development of Shandong's modern socialist country and fully showcasing the positive spirit and unwavering commitment of Shandong youth in the new era.

The Dawn High-End Tire Barrier Material (DVA) research team has been deeply involved in the field of new materials for twenty years. They have successfully broken through foreign technological blockades and created the world's first "double continuous heterogeneous cross-linked structure" DVA material and achieved large-scale production. This has improved tire air tightness by 7 to 10 times and reduced the weight of a single tire by about 1 kilogram. It was selected as one of the top ten scientific and technological innovation achievements in Shandong Province in 2025, marking a historic leap for Chinese high-end tire materials from "following" to "leading".

This team deeply practices the concept of green and low-carbon development, promotes the demonstration of reusable DVA materials technology, and regularly carries out science popularization and technical assistance to help rural revitalization. The team currently has one national-level talent, 24 core members with doctoral or master's degrees, and over 60% of its members are under 35 years old, forming an innovative ecosystem of collaborative research among senior, middle-aged, and young members. It has been recognized as a "Shandong Provincial Innovation Team" and has made contributions to the high-quality development of the new materials industry in China. Its advanced achievements have been reported multiple times by mainstream media such as People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, Dazhong Daily, and SDTV-1.

Standing at the crucial beginning of the "15th Five-Year Plan" year, the Dawn Research Team's receipt of this honor will surely inspire young people to shoulder their responsibilities, work diligently and practically, interpret their original aspiration and mission of "pursuing dreams and serving the country through industry" with concrete actions, continue to practice the business philosophy of "product-based, people-oriented, technology-led, and customer-centric", and set their sights on the goal of "leading industrial trends and building a national brand" to accelerate the creation of a world-class green, low-carbon, and high-end new materials manufacturing base.
