In 2018, the China Chemical Fiber Technology Conference was held in Pingdingshan, Henan Province. The conference was jointly sponsored by the Department of Environment and Textile Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, the China Textile Engineering Society, and the Pingding Municipal People's Government. The theme was "Fiber New Vision - Zhirong Technology, Creation and Future" In the context of the new era, the significance of technological innovation in China's chemical fiber industry, the focus of scientific and technological innovation in the chemical fiber industry during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, and the key technologies that need to be overcome, how to cooperate with industry, academia and research, and promote the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements. The topic was explored in depth.

Chemical fiber industry technology development includes 10 key points

The key points of science and technology development in China's chemical fiber industry include ten key tasks, including strengthening basic theoretical research, overcoming major key common technologies in the industry, promoting the integration of general fiber intelligence, improving the quality of high-performance fibers, expanding the application of bio-based chemical fibers, and strengthening the recycling of recycled fibers. Innovate comprehensive utilization, develop green manufacturing technology, improve the application level of information technology, improve the standard system and clean production evaluation system, and build a professional talent team.

Among these key tasks, Duan Xiaoping emphasized the importance of the first two items. He said: "The ZTE incident has given us the enlightenment that the industry must overcome major key common technologies. China's chips are precisely because of the lack of basic research, and they will not be subject to the key common technologies of the industry."

"The biggest problem in the high-tech field is that everyone has to sink their hearts. It is impossible to make a product without innovation based on theoretical basis. The bench must be sitting for 10 years, and the theoretical basis of the bench may have to sit for a longer time." Duan Xiaoping also In particular, he quoted the words of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei to emphasize the importance of theoretical research for technological innovation.

In this regard, Jiang Shicheng also deeply agrees. He pointed out: "Science and technology innovation is a national strategy. We must strengthen basic research and applied research. Many of our chemical fiber companies are large, but the research and development strength and R&D talents are lacking. Enterprises are often just busy with the production and management of products, and they are really determined. Insufficient ability to do basic research and conduct engineering research. In this regard, it is recommended to establish a national-level chemical fiber research institute with the support of all parties to integrate the national strengths and find out where the industry still needs to strengthen. Basic research, in which areas should be strengthened to do applied research, and focus on the '13th Five-Year' development plan, focusing on the deployment of scientific research projects. Enterprises must not only increase capital investment, but also increase investment in talents, especially should increase For the cultivation of multidisciplinary and complex talents."

According to Duan Xiaoping, the major key common technologies that the chemical fiber industry needs to overcome include five aspects.

The first is to overcome the high-cost fiber low-cost, high-stability manufacturing key technology and equipment engineering technology.

The second is to overcome the key technologies of high-efficiency flexible and integrated manufacturing of general-purpose fiber; the key technology of low-cost preparation of new polyester industrial filament; the new function and the efficient and controllable large-scale preparation and application technology of intelligent fiber and nanofiber.

The third is to overcome the bio-based raw materials and bio-based fiber green processing technology and equipment integration technology to replace petroleum resources; the high-efficiency continuous polymerization technology of bio-based synthetic polyesters such as PLA, PDT and PTT; the key to bio-based polyol engineering and industrialization Technology; biomedical fibers and products, biodegradable fibers and products, new resources for bio-based fibers, efficient cleaning and key technologies for high value-added products.

The fourth is to overcome the key technologies of high-quality recycling of recycled fiber.

The fifth is to overcome key technologies such as digital and intelligent chemical fiber equipment and manufacturing; large-capacity multi-batch product information automation and product traceability.

Duan Xiaoping also pointed out that technological innovation also needs the support of the standard system. Since the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”, the basic support role of the standardization work in the chemical fiber industry in the high-quality development of the chemical fiber industry has become more and more obvious, the standard effectiveness, advancement and applicability have been further enhanced, and the industry's green development and technological innovation have been deeply integrated. Create a new situation in which the market norms have the standard to follow, the innovation drives the standard, and the transformation and upgrading have the standard support.

It is precisely because of the importance of standard work. During the conference, the Chemical Fiber Association also announced the establishment of the Standardization Technical Committee of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association.

“Standards can be taken first. The number and types of products in the chemical fiber industry have increased in the past few years. The standards at that time could not meet the needs of the development of the industry. So around 2011, the China Chemical Fiber Association launched a study on the group standards of the association. Moreover, from the perspective of the international market, foreign countries mainly rely on non-governmental standards and third-party standards, and China will sooner or later be in line with international standards.” Duan Xiaoping emphasized.
