In his speech, Jiang Shicheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that fiber materials have become one of the fastest-growing and most active fields of science and technology in the world. Scientific and technological innovation in the field of advanced fiber materials is promoting the disruptive development of the fiber industry and spurring a new generation of fiber industry set up. In 2018, China's chemical fiber output reached 50 million tons, accounting for more than 70% of the world's total chemical fiber. Among them, the research level of new fiber materials, especially high-tech high-performance fibers, has made great progress, and the gap with advanced levels in developed countries has narrowed significantly.
In recent years, through a series of industrial development plans, China has further clarified the goals and tasks of the development of key basic materials industries. In order to continue to promote the product structure upgrade, industrial structure upgrade, and technical structure upgrade of the chemical fiber industry, in order to achieve scientific development and high quality of the chemical fiber industry Development provides direction. In terms of high-performance fiber materials, the focus is on the development of high-performance carbon fibers, para-aramid, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, polyimide fibers, and silicon carbide fibers. At the same time, it is necessary to integrate the superior resources of the new materials industry, encourage upstream and downstream enterprises and industry-university-research joint research, and concentrate their efforts on breakthroughs in the industrialization of core technologies.
