"As one of the key development areas for strategic emerging industries and China 2025, new materials are the industrial foundation for the transformation and upgrading of the whole manufacturing industry. The development of new material industry is the new driving force of China's rapid economic development and the development of high quality. It is an important measure to deepen supply-side structural reform and is the source of vitality for the revitalization of the real economy. At the 2017 China new materials capital technology autumn summit in 2017, miao zhimin, deputy director of the department of raw materials industry at the ministry of industry and information technology, said.
In recent years, China's new material industry has developed rapidly. According to the data, the total output value of China's new material industry in 2016 was 2.65 trillion yuan, up 35%. Rare earth functional materials, advanced energy storage materials, photovoltaic materials, organic silicon, ultra-hard materials, special stainless steel, glass fiber and composite materials are among the most advanced materials in the world. MiaoZhiMin said, however, the new material on the whole, in our country is still in the early stages of tracking imitate and industrialization cultivation, cultivating and developing the new material industry is a long way to go, need to various departments at all levels, new materials production enterprises, the user units, research institutes and the joint efforts of intermediary agencies.
The industry is developing rapidly and quickly
The new material is a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change the cornerstone and lead. New materials, such as silicon, polymer, high-strength alloy, carbon fiber and graphene, have developed vigorously in recent years, which has supported the rapid development of the world's high-tech industry.
Since the eleventh five-year plan, the new chemical materials in China have achieved remarkable results in technological innovation and market cultivation, and the industrial system has been gradually improved. China petroleum (601857, shares) and chemical industry federation chemical park working committee secretary general osseo-asare k. synthesis said, "at present our country has already can produce tens of thousands of kinds of chemical industry of new products, widely used in electronics, building materials, automobile ship, rail transportation and other fields."
Among them, as one of the important fields of new material industry, high performance fiber, including carbon fiber, aramid and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, has attracted wide attention in recent years.
"The carbon fiber composite material market is expected to reach us $35.7 billion by 2020." National 973 project's chief scientist said, donghua university professor yu wood fire, carbon fiber composite materials in recent years achieved good development, in the era of manufacturing large-scale applications already started: technology progress, reduce costs, production automation technology constantly improve, application field expands unceasingly. It is reported that the new type of carbon fiber application includes space shuttle, advanced rail transit, offshore wind power, ocean chemical industry, ocean container light quantization, building enhancement, exoskeleton, etc.
According to the data, the total output value of China's new material industry in 2016 was 2.65 trillion yuan, with a growth rate of 35%, and the whole industry was very strong. However, the problems encountered in the development of new materials should not be ignored at the same time. Miao said that China's new material industry is still in the primary stage of tracking imitation and industrialization. No matter in industry scale, technology and equipment, or on the innovation ability, with the international advanced level, there is a big gap existing in the development of industry innovation ability insufficiency, the industrial layout and weak chaos, popularization and application, its system is not sound, lack of talent team has not been fundamentally solved.
Take chemical new material as an example. Osseo-asare k. synthesis said that although China chemical new material performance especially in recent years, but compared with developed countries, in terms of industry scale, technology level and product quality, there is still a large gap of high-end chemical new material still not realize large-scale production, with imports of the gap is bigger, can only meet the needs of mid-range, some of the key material still rely on imports.
"The road to the development of new materials in China should be toward the best sex, uniqueness, disruptive three can support high value-added direction of 2025 made in China, only grasp core technology development, in order to guarantee the sustainability of the manufacturing industry in our country, our country from manufacturing power gradually developed into a manufacturing powerhouse." Lu jian, a member of the French national academy of technical sciences and vice-chancellor of the city university of Hong Kong.
Industry or rewind
At present, with a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial revolution, the new technology and new products have achieved a mass breakthrough, and industry upgrading and material upgrading have been accelerated. With the accelerated breakthrough and in-depth development of new materials, the basic and leading role of the new technology revolution and industrial transformation will be more prominent.
