From September 6 to 8, under the vigorous promotion of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the first China International New Material Industry Expo was held in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. During the exhibition, there were nearly 12 special seminars including the New Chemical Materials Exchange Conference. Gao Yunhu, Deputy Director of the Department of Raw Materials of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also explained the forthcoming “12th Five-Year Development Plan for New Materials Industryâ€. For the first time as an independent industry on the historical stage, it highlights the importance of the underlying materials in China's economic and industrial development.
According to the new material development plan, the industrial scale of new materials in 2015 reached 2 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of more than 25%; and during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†period, the comprehensive support capacity for new material products in China increased to 70%. Key new materials The guarantee ability reaches 50%, and the industrialization and scale of key varieties such as carbon fiber and titanium alloy are realized. Make this fair a feast for a truly new material industry.
According to Gao Yunhu, in 2010, the scale of China's new materials industry exceeded 650 billion yuan, an average annual increase of nearly 20% compared with 2005. The production capacity of rare earth functional materials, advanced energy storage materials, photovoltaic materials, organic silicon, glass fiber, and composite materials ranks among the top in the world, but there are still problems such as weak self-development capabilities and insufficient support for key new materials. To this end, the new material development plan proposes six key development areas. The reporter noted that among the new materials focused on development, new chemical materials accounted for a considerable share. Among them, magnetic materials, luminescent materials, hydrogen storage materials, catalytic materials, and polishing materials should be the focus of development of rare earth functional materials.
The special rubber in advanced polymer materials must be developed independently and technically introduced simultaneously. It should take a refined and serialized route, vigorously develop new products and new brands, strive to expand the scale, and focus on the development of butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, and ethylene propylene rubber. , Isoprene rubber, polyurethane rubber, high-end styrene elastomers and other varieties. Engineering plastics should enhance the supply of high-end varieties as soon as possible. Accelerate the development of polycarbonate, polyoxymethylene, polybutylene terephthalate, polyphenylene oxide and polyphenylene ether, and actively develop new products such as new polyesters or high-end grades.
Among other functional polymer materials, high-performance fluorosilicon materials need to be structurally adjusted and vigorously develop high-end varieties such as silicon rubber, silicone resin, polyfluorinated ethylene propylene, and polyvinylidene fluoride. In the fields of battery separators and high-performance membranes for water treatment, it is necessary to accelerate the development, production, and application of electrolytic ion exchange membranes, battery separators, and optical polyester membranes.
Gao Yunhu said that the key factors restricting the development of China's high-performance composite materials are that the industrialization of carbon fiber and other high-performance reinforcing fibers has not yet been completely broken, and that the core devices are controlled by people. Second, the processing and preparation technologies for composite materials are relatively backward, and the market promotion efforts still need to be strengthened. Therefore, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†period, high-performance composite materials should focus on the development of resin-based composites and carbon/carbon composites, accelerate the development and utilization of metal matrix composites and ceramic matrix composites, and increase carbon fiber, aramid fiber, and ultra-high molecular weight. Polyethylene fiber and other high-performance reinforcing fiber industrialization level. At the same time, we must make breakthroughs in product cost and quality and accelerate the promotion and application of high-performance composite materials.
According to the new material development plan, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†period, the country will also focus on organizing and implementing rare earth and rare metal functional materials special projects, carbon fiber cost-reduction and high-end innovation demonstration projects, high-performance membrane material special projects, and advanced battery materials special projects. We will wait for 10 key projects to promote the development and upgrading of the new materials industry.
In the new materials industry, SMEs occupy a large proportion. In the plan interpretation, it is proposed to “support new material SMEs in the direction of 'specialization, refinement, specialization, and newness' and improve the supporting capabilities of SMEs for large enterprises and large projects. , to create a batch of new materials “little giantâ€, to indicate the needs and direction of development to small and medium-sized enterprises, help small and medium enterprises in transition to choose a good positioning. At the same time require large companies to have a higher starting point, not only to bear the aerospace, etc. The national major science and technology projects in the field should also produce high value-added, high-tech products.
The new materials cover a wide range of fields. This is not only reflected in the application field, but also in the production field. The industry span brings about unorganized management and disorder. Prior to this, the relevant departments had never developed or planned it as an independent industry. In recent years, with the deepening of China's economic transformation and upgrading, many private capitals have entered this field, and there are a few blindly involved projects. In this plan, the new material industry was first proposed as an independent subject. At the same time, the plan emphasizes that through the establishment and improvement of the new material industrial policy system, policy convergence and cooperation, the release of key new material product guidance catalog, the implementation of major projects in the new materials industry, the establishment of Stable financial input mechanism, increase support, focus on supporting the development and application of new material products with great market potential and significant demonstration significance; improve import tax preferential policies related to key research and development projects and demonstration projects of new materials industry; improve industrial innovation capability Cultivate competitive core enterprises, encourage the establishment of industrial alliances with leading enterprises, joint upstream and downstream core enterprises in the industrial chain, and "enhance the safeguard measures for new materials and technical standards, and realize the healthy development of the new materials industry."
