In addition to the wide use of nano composites, the application of electronic, optical, energy storage and biological fields have made a technical breakthrough, the future needs of graphene will be further increased. At the same time, China’s patent applications in the field of graphene digital ranking first in the world. At present, the development of graphene is mainly concentrated in Asia and North America, where China is a major research and development country, the number of priority patent applications accounted for about half of the world. Thus, China’s emphasis on graphene related research areas, the layout will help enhance the competitiveness of our country in the international market.

At present, our country has achieved industrialization in the field of composite materials and touch screen, but the high cost of R & D and production, the current stage of graphene products are still in the low end of the application. With the related policy overweight and industrialization process accelerated, graphene industry applications will transition from low-end to high-end. This year, the Ministry of industry, development and Reform Commission and other ministries jointly issued “on accelerating the innovation and development of new materials industry guidance” pointed out that the positive development of advanced materials, including graphene, increasing material manufacturing materials, intelligent materials, research and technology of super material accumulation. There have been a lot of graphene enterprises to try to transform the high-end industrial applications. Beijing Century Technology Co., carbon released the world’s first high-end industrial applications of graphene graphene surface wave detection technology, the advantage of this technology is that it has a high sensitivity and speed of response, either scientific or technical

field is at the leading level. The industry believes that the future development prospects of graphene depends on downstream applications, to maximize the use of graphene characteristics of R & D products will be of high cost. China graphene technology innovation alliance in 2016 global graphene industry research report said that China’s graphene application market will usher in the outbreak of the industry, in 2020 will form a hundred billion market size.

High efficiency and low cost is the key point of development
Carbon fiber and other high performance fiber is an important strategic material in the fields of aviation, spaceflight, national defense, economic construction and scientific and technological progress. It is also one of the key technologies of low carbon economy. Push in recent years in the relevant state policies, the rapid development of China’s carbon fiber industry, constantly optimize the production process technology, equipment upgrade, applications continue to expand, successfully solved the problem of “from scratch”.

Related data show that in 2015 the total amount of global PAN based carbon fiber is about 60 thousand tons, aviation, industry and sports / leisure industry accounted for 22%, respectively, 62% and 16%. Some experts predict that by 2020, carbon fiber demand will reach 100 thousand tons, of which 72% will be applied to the automotive industry and wind power industry. “Although the carbon fiber industry is facing great opportunities, but the high cost of production is one of the bottlenecks hindering the development of the industry.” National special synthetic fiber information center director Luo Yifeng pointed out.

At present, the international and domestic carbon fiber research department is committed to research and development of low cost technology. American Oak Park National Laboratory in 2001 began to study the preparation of low cost carbon fiber, 2016 licensing technologies “large tow acrylic + microwave plasma carbonization technology can reduce the cost of 50%; Japan’s” PAN aromatic ring + microwave plasma carbonization technology, production efficiency can be increased 10 times;

University of Tokyo Japan Industrial Technology Research Institute, Dongli, Dili, Toho special wire (Nike Teijin group), MITSUBISHI Liyang jointly developed a new manufacturing technology of carbon fiber, the energy and carbon dioxide emissions required for the manufacture of carbon fiber decreases by about half.
In the domestic side, the Donghua University study of “PAN aromatic ring melt or dry spray wet spinning + fast oxidation” technology, has been authorized by the United States patent 2, Japan authorized invention patent 5, China to apply for a patent for invention 3. At present, the technology is in the pilot phase. Shandong University carbon fiber research center is also joint military products production units, fiber and composite materials production enterprises, from the preparation technology, application technology, recovery technology and other aspects of research and production of carbon fiber with low cost scale.

It can be seen, carbon fiber and carbon fiber composite material research and development and industrialization has entered a major innovation period, in the next 5 to 10 years, will usher in a period of great development. At the same time, with the continuous decline in production costs and low cost recovery and recycling technology development, its market applications will gradually become more popular and become a new type of bulk products.
Under the new industrial revolution

Green and intelligent into the main trend
The world today is in the Internet, new energy, new materials, biotechnology, and green, smart and sustainable for the characteristics of the new technological revolution and the third industrial revolution period of globalization, digitization, coincidence, intelligent, green, fine, such as customization makes technology innovation and enterprise economic development relationship than ever before more direct and close. Throughout the evolution trend of advanced manufacturing technology, “green” and “intelligent” will become the main trend of development. This gives a profound impact on the industrial structure, mode of production, business model and so on.
At present, the chemical industry is to promote green design, green material, green manufacturing and development cycle, and in March this year issued a “green fiber” LOGO logo, and there are 8 enterprises to obtain “green fiber” certification. Xiaoping stressed that the “green fiber” certification is not an appraisal, but the advanced, green, safe, environmentally friendly products, a recognition.
One of the Jiangsu Shenghong Polytron Technologies Inc is to obtain a “green fiber” certification of enterprises, the company’s chief engineer Mei Feng introduction, Sheng Hong is committed to independent innovation, and vigorously promote scientific and technological innovation projects, respectively, to overcome the technological difficulties of bio based fiber PTT all of the key links, the formation of PDO raw material production, PTT polymerization, spinning, PTT PTT fabric dyeing technology the industrialization of a dragon. Recently, Sheng Hong, an annual output of 60 thousand tons of melt direct spinning bio based PTT differentiated fiber project formally laid the foundation, to further consolidate the advantages of enterprises in the bio based PTT fiber industry.

In recent years, viscose fiber industry by using a new type of practical technology in the industry, energy saving, waste management and other aspects have greatly improved. But with the high cost of environmental governance, viscose fiber industry’s environmental pressure is growing. China chemical fiber industry association fiber branch secretary Tian Ke pointed out that the “13th Five-Year” period, the industry will focus on the promotion of technology of green pulping works, using new technology to upgrade the paper pulp enterprises, modified straw comprehensive grouting technology and realize resource utilization technology utilization. At the same time to encourage the construction of stable and sustainable development of bamboo and hemp pulp base, the development of efficient, environmentally friendly and low cost clean pulping technology and equipment.
Associate professor of Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology, also believes that in the new environmental situation, the viscose fiber industry needs to change the concept of environmental protection, environmental standards are just the bottom line, while the core and purpose is to improve environmental quality. “The future development of the industry should be in the process of source reduction, process control and end control.” Gong said.

Intelligent manufacturing is also one of the development direction of the industry. Beijing Yutian Storage Technology Co., Ltd. Du Tuping, general manager, the company developed a two-way regulation of temperature phase change materials, and put it into the fiber, the clothes can Zhilengzhire “”. “At present, this technology has in viscose, polypropylene and acrylic fiber to achieve a breakthrough, in all functional wear, smart wearable two-way thermostat with bidirectional thermostat function, technology products can also cool temperature. This product has revolutionized the textile can only be a single warm or a single cold caused by the traditional impression.” Du Tuping introduction.
To enhance the industry of “intelligent” factor

HUAWEI CEO Ren Zhengfei in this year’s national science and Technology Innovation Conference section, set people thinking: HUAWEI is the industry gradually into the unmanned area, in the pilot, no rules, no follow dilemma.” It is because that “major innovation is the uninhabited areas of survival”, Ren Zhengfei “sorry, no breakthrough, no breakthrough, no large accumulation of technology, it is not possible to produce explosive innovation. HUAWEI follow people run ‘opportunism’ high speed, will gradually slow down, the creation of the theory of responsibility has come to guide.”

Chemical fiber industry is also facing the same problem. Chinese Textile Industry Association vice president, President of Chinese chemical fiber industry association Duan Xiaoping once said in an interview: “chemical industry seems to have entered the” unmanned area “of the state, lost the object of study, in this case, the common development of the world need to.
China as chemical power, has the responsibility and obligation to carry the banner of R & D, R & D investment, promote the development of global fiber industry.” China is the world chemical power, chemical fiber production accounted for the global 70%, is the only country with all chemical species, but also the overall level of Chinese chemical fiber has greatly improved, especially in the conventional field, as well as high performance fiber and differential fiber, China has a leading position. At present, the development emphasis of Chinese chemical fiber represents the future direction of globalization.

Big variety into the low profit era
High value functionality is the direction of
In 2015, China’s chemical fiber production reached 48 million 310 thousand tons, accounting for the proportion of textile fiber processing volume increased from 70% in 2010 to 84.1%, to promote the sustainable development of China’s economy plays an important supporting role. However, under the new normal, China’s chemical fiber is facing a state of excess capacity.
According to statistics, in 2015 China’s synthetic fiber production growth slowed to 4.5%, the global fiber processing volume is expected to average annual growth rate of 2.8% to 3%. In particular, the large variety of synthetic fiber has entered the “low profit” era, PET, PA fiber variety development basic to track and imitation based, restricted the sustainable development of textile and related industries.

However, from the demand point of view, the future of the fiber is still need to rely on a large variety of synthetic fiber. According to the relevant data show that the United Nations is expected to 2020, the global population of 7 billion 760 million, a net increase of 410 million, the average annual growth rate of 1.09%; 2020 to 2030 years will be a net increase of 740 million people, with an average annual growth rate of 0.9%. As the population grows, fiber consumption will continue to grow. “” 13th Five-Year “at the end of the global fiber consumption per capita will exceed 12.5 kg / kg / person, increased by 0.6 than in 2015, the total global consumption of fiber will be close to million tons. Among them, the synthetic fiber will be the main embodiment of the growth of the demand for textile fibers.” Luo Hongjing, deputy director of the economic and Technical Research Institute of China Petrochemical Corp.

Zhu Meifang, Dean of the school of materials science and engineering Donghua University also believes that the future of polyester production capacity and demand accounted for the proportion of the total domestic synthetic fiber will continue to remain at around 88%, nylon production capacity and demand increased 9% and 12%, accounting for the proportion of total fiber increased to around 6%.

So under the strong demand, in the low profit era of large varieties of synthetic fibers should be how to develop? “Industry needs to rely on the large capacity of the project, to promote the quality of conventional products, enhance product added value, to achieve universal multi functional fiber.” Zhu Meifang suggested that the future should be a single fiber component to the composite, simple to construct multiple fiber development, function by passive adaptation to active innovative design development, and strengthen the basic research, the initial impetus for product development, support the development of key technologies and technology. The most original, cross and fusion.
Encouraging is that the industry has now started the relevant research. Cooperative innovation system of close collaboration led by Chinese Textile Science Research Institute of the dope dyed fiber industry chain, the polyester fiber, polyamide fiber and regenerated cellulose fiber as the key, the key core technology breakthroughs in all aspects of the whole industry chain, power industry to achieve rapid and healthy development.

Enterprise level is also constantly innovative research and development, and achieved good results. Fujian Jinjiang science and technology limited company vice president Chen Fei introduced, at present, Jinjiang science and technology companies rely on the unique core technology developed porous fine denier fiber, dope dyed fiber and functional fiber nylon three series of high-quality products, the market feedback effect is very good. “With the continuous development of society, people’s material needs are constantly improving. The future development of nylon fiber is bound to function, toward the direction of the development of high-end.” Chen Fei said, the future, Jinjiang science and technology research and development of high-end products will soon heat high stretching polyamide fiber, polyamide fiber, conductive polyamide fiber etc..
The president, Chinese Chemical Fiber Industry Association Branch of nylon Guangdong Xinhui Meida nylon Limited by Share Ltd deputy general manager He Zhuosheng also suggested that the main raw material of nylon caprolactam production process has been a breakthrough, large capacity of nylon 6 polymerization apparatus and process has been further improved, domestic equipment imported equipment and spinning nylon fusion, future, should further optimize the product structure.

He analyzed, compared with developed countries, China’s industrial plastic industry, the low proportion of silk, variety structure still has a large optimization space, but also in the effect of the change of national income and improve the consumption concept, the automobile industry with fiber, decorated with fiber development potential.
High performance fiber with unlimited potential

at present, the domestic crude benzol tender significant gains, after follow up all over the country. Among them, East China, central China and other compensatory growth market. By the end of the week, the mainstream market transaction negotiations to 4800-5000 yuan / ton, a record high.

Recently, the trend of strong crude, mainly because of the Hunan Xiangtan Steel coking plant, Jiangsu Shagang Group and Shandong Shiheng Special Steel coking plant price increase. Hunan Xiangtan latest offer for 4870 yuan / ton, compared to the previous rose 485 yuan / ton; Jiangsu Shagang latest offer for 5100 yuan / ton, compared to the previous rose 550 yuan / ton; the latest offer Shandong Shiheng Special Steel coking plant is 5150 yuan / ton, up 400 yuan / ton than last week.
