On August 10, the first meeting of the first council of the Yangtze River Delta Carbon Fiber and Composite Materials Technology Innovation Center was held in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Leaders and experts from local government agencies, research institutes and enterprises focused on the current situation of carbon fiber and composite material technology innovation and application, the future development of key directions, as well as the expansion of the market, for in-depth discussion, with the aim of promoting the industry to high-end, scale, characteristics, green development, to better serve the national strategy and industrial development needs.

Yue Qingrui, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, professor of University of Science and Technology Beijing and director of the Yangtze River Delta Carbon Fiber and Composite Materials Technology Innovation Center, introduced that carbon fiber and composite materials are being widely used in important strategic areas such as aerospace, clean energy, advanced engineering, and rail transportation. From the global industry scale continues to grow, the global demand in 2021 118,000 tons, an increase of 10.4% year-on-year. Since the “13th Five-Year Plan”, China’s market demand is very strong, driving technological innovation and rapid industrial development.

Jiangsu Changzhou focus on planning the development of new carbon material cluster is included in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology advanced manufacturing clusters, currently gathering nearly 2,000 enterprises, basically formed from the production of raw materials – composite molding – equipment manufacturing – final sale products and related supporting the complete industrial chain, become a new engine to promote high-quality economic development and important support.

However, in the view of relevant experts, from the current state of the domestic industry, although the production capacity has a rapid growth, but still and advanced countries have a relatively large technical gap. This lack of technology supply is reflected in both the gap in basic scientific research, but also in the application of technology, application areas and other aspects of the problem.

  According to the introduction, Changzhou will support the innovation center to further integrate the advantageous resources of domestic and foreign universities, research institutes and enterprises from the aspects of policy, talent, platform and application, focus on building a comprehensive industrial innovation platform with clustering of innovation resources and open organization and operation, accelerate the clustering of global innovation resources in the field of carbon fiber and composite materials in Changzhou, and make every effort to enhance the scientific research technology level and international competitiveness of carbon fiber and composite materials industry.
