With the advancement of technology and the development of industry, the application fields of silica are constantly expanding, and its future development trend is also highly concerned. In the field of materials science, researchers are developing new types of silica based composite materials to improve their strength, toughness, and functionality. For example, in the field of nanomaterials, silica nanoparticles are used to manufacture high-strength and high toughness composite materials, which are applied in the aerospace and automotive industries. In the field of biomaterials, silica based biomaterials are used to manufacture artificial bones and teeth, and are applied in the medical and dental fields.

In the field of environmental protection, the adsorption and filtration performance of silica will be further optimized to address the increasingly serious problems of water and air pollution. For example, in the field of water treatment, silica based adsorbents are used to remove heavy metal ions and organic pollutants from water, and are applied in the treatment of drinking water and industrial wastewater. In the field of air purification, silica based adsorbents are used to remove harmful gases and particulate matter from the air, and are applied in indoor air purification and industrial waste gas treatment.
In the fields of medicine and cosmetics, the safety and functionality of silica will continue to be improved to meet consumers' demand for high-quality products. For example, in the pharmaceutical field, silica based drug carriers are used to improve the bioavailability and stability of drugs, applied in drug formulations and sustained-release systems. In the cosmetics field, silica based fillers and oil absorbents are used to improve the use effect and safety of cosmetics, and are used in foundation make-up, powder and sunscreen products.
