Carbon Fiber Industry Promotes Development By Application

In October 2013, Ministry of industry and information technology The action plan for accelerating the development of the carbon fiber industry was issued. The plan clearly states that China should adhere to the principle of combining industrial development with downstream applications in developing carbon fiber. The plan puts forward the four major actions of key organizations, including the downstream application expansion action, and specifies the specific objectives and paths: first, to ensure the national major engineering needs.

Focusing on the performance requirements of high-end carbon fiber products in the fields of aerospace, military equipment and major infrastructure, we should establish an integrated upstream and downstream collaborative mechanism to ensure superior carbon fiber products with superior quality and stable quality. complete carbon fibre The application of composite materials in key structural parts of civil aviation and aerospace is verified, and airworthiness requirements are met. Accelerate the demonstration application of carbon fiber composite materials in major infrastructures such as cross sea bridges, artificial islands and reefs.

Second, expand Industrial field Application. Focusing on the needs of wind power generation, power transmission, oil and gas production, automobiles, pressure vessels and other fields, we support the application demonstration, and guide production enterprises, research and design institutions and application units to jointly develop various forms of carbon fiber reinforced composite materials, components and finished products, accelerate the cultivation and expansion of the application market in the industrial field, drive the transformation and upgrading of related industries, and ensure the development needs of strategic emerging industries.

Thirdly, enhance the ability to serve the people's livelihood. We should increase the application scope of carbon fiber in the field of building reinforcement, increase the safety factor of buildings, continue to make bigger and stronger carbon fiber sports leisure products, meet the needs of people for cultural and sports life, and actively explore the application of carbon fiber products in the fields of safety protection, health care, energy saving and environmental protection, and constantly meet the needs of economic and social development.

"In the past, the state mainly supported the production of carbon fiber products, and now it is more supportive of the development of applications. In the hope of expanding the application fields, it will promote the development of production enterprises in turn." In this regard, industry insiders said that the correlation between the upstream and downstream industries of carbon fiber is very close. It is difficult for carbon fiber producers to complete the development of a new product downstream of carbon fiber.

Therefore, the government should give full play to the ability of coordination and allocation, and build a complete industrial chain with coordinated development of production, learning, research and application through alliances and other industry organizations. At the same time, all supporting policies need to be formulated and put into place. "If land, taxes, subsidies, electricity prices, scientific research and other policies can be implemented in time, the enthusiasm of enterprises for scientific research and innovation will be mobilized."
