[Plastic] hitting the highland of independent innovation, my country’s new chemical materials should move from bigger to stronger

Materials are the foundation of the manufacturing industry.

"New chemical materials are used in many important areas of the national economy, such as aerospace, electronics, new energy, medical and health, energy conservation and environmental protection, etc.

New chemical materials can be used from airplanes to warm clothing

From airplanes, rockets, satellites, high-speed trains, ships and other “heavy tools” related to the national economy, to daily necessities such as shopping bags, lunch boxes, batteries, and warm clothing, they are all closely related to new chemical materials.

Jiang Zhongyi introduced that, generally speaking, materials that require chemical reactions or chemical processes are called chemical materials.

"Compared with traditional chemical materials, new chemical materials have the characteristics of light weight, excellent performance, strong functionality, high technical content, and high added value.

In some fields, it is necessary to rely on new chemical materials to meet new technological needs.

In addition, in many fields, the application of new chemical materials is of great significance.

Zhang Sheng, a professor at the School of Chemical Engineering of Tianjin University, said that technological innovations in the energy field, such as the clean and efficient conversion of traditional fossil energy, and breakthroughs in key technologies such as the sustainable conversion and utilization of carbon dioxide, will become an important driving force for my country's energy revolution.

The rapid growth of my country's new chemical material industry

The "2020 China Chemical New Materials Annual Development Report" released at the end of last year showed that my country's chemical new materials industry has grown rapidly and has made significant technological progress.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, major progress was made in the adjustment of the new chemical material industry structure, and about 10 new chemical material characteristic industrial parks with an annual output value of over 10 billion yuan were formed; the organizational structure of the enterprise became more reasonable, and about 30 professional industrial parks were cultivated.

"High-performance carbon fiber and its composite materials are the material basis for the construction of major national projects such as satellite platforms, carrier rockets, large aircraft, and weapons and ships.

According to reports, in the field of environmental protection, my country has applied ultrafiltration membrane technology to water treatment.

Zhang Sheng introduced, another example is that implantable medical devices have a special function of maintaining life and repairing.

Although data show that my country has become a “material power”, it still has a long way to go to become a “material power”.
