Integrated composite components are an important support for the improvement of the overall performance of aviation and aerospace vehicles, and their development strategies have received more and more attention. With the continuous advancement of offshore oil and gas development in the world, offshore engineering equipment materials for offshore oil and gas development are becoming an important part of the marine high-end equipment manufacturing industry. The development trend of large-scale, large-depth, long-period, whole sea area and multi-function of marine observation and detection equipment requires high strength and toughness titanium alloys to break through large-scale preparation technology and high-robustness welding technology, and non-metallic structural materials need to further develop defect control technology.
The deep integration of new (V) materials with other disciplines and fields
The deep integration of new materials with other disciplines and fields has become a new feature of the development of new materials industry.The combination of perovskite materials and organic materials has given rise to promising new solar cells, which have proved to have transformative applications in various application scenarios and are gradually moving towards large-scale commercialization.

4.industrial agglomeration situation is good
The spatial layout of new materials in my country has been increasingly optimized, the effect of industrial agglomeration has gradually become prominent, and industrial clusters have gradually become large-scale, forming new material industry clusters represented by the Bohai Rim, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta; the new material field has cultivated4advanced manufacturing clusters,14strategic emerging industrial clusters,19innovative industrial clusters,96A new industrial demonstration base.

5.New materials industry support leading role highlighted
As the forerunner of the materials industry, new materials play an important supporting and leading role in promoting technological innovation, promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and ensuring national security. Our country has been in the basic type (T300Grade) carbon fiber development, engineering and key technologies for aerospace applications, wet high-strength (T700GGrade) key technologies for the development and engineering of carbon fiber, high-strength medium model (T800HA series of breakthroughs have been made in the engineering of carbon fiber and its application of key technologies, which have strongly supported the construction of China's satellite platforms, carrier rockets, large aircraft, weapons, ships and other major national equipment.8.5GenerationTFT-LCDThe glass float production line and the lithium aluminum silicon glass industrialization production line have broken the long-term monopoly of foreign enterprises in the field of high quality electronic display glass.

(II) problems
Although my country attaches great importance to the development of the new material industry and has initially established an industrial system with a relatively complete range of varieties, it still faces problems such as uneven advanced basic materials, key strategic materials being controlled by others, and cutting-edge new material technologies that need to be broken through,It is urgent to improve the original innovation ability, strengthen the independent control of key core technologies, and deeply integrate the innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain, talent chain and security guarantee.
1.Part of the basic raw materials rely on imports, a serious threat to the safety of the new material industry chain.
The intensification of the game between major powers and the persistence of regional conflicts have severely impacted the global economic order and political relations, and the world's technological competition pattern is changing. In the fields involving economic and social development, national defense equipment construction and people's well-being improvement, some new materials“stuck neck”The problem is becoming increasingly apparent. China's semiconductor materials field still has weak technical foundation and weak links in the industrial chain. Key raw and auxiliary materials such as high-purity synthetic quartz for photomasks, photomask substrates, photomask protective films, resins, monomers, additives for lithography materials, key raw materials used in the production of functional chemicals, electronic-grade chemicals, analytical and testing instruments and packaging materials, nano-scale abrasive materials for chemical mechanical polishing fluids, and raw materials for polishing pads, target materials with ultra-high purity raw materials ingots, packaging materials of high-end raw materials, gas supporting related facilities pipes, valves, packaging bottles, etc. still rely on imports. The high-performance ceramic powder industry for the preparation of advanced structural and functional integrated ceramic materials has long been monopolized by companies in Japan, Europe, and the United States. my country's high-performance nitride ceramic powders, such as silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, boron nitride and other powders, rely heavily on foreign imports. Although key technologies are being tackled in China and related products are already available, there is still a long way to go before real industrialization. distance.
2.Part of the core equipment has not yet achieved independent control, industrial development risks
The important reason why China's core equipment is controlled by others is the disconnection between R & D and production, the insufficient research on the interdisciplinary integration of materials, technology and equipment, and the lack of attention to the problems of process and equipment. There is a significant gap between China's carbon fiber production equipment and foreign countries, lack of independent design and manufacturing capacity of equipment, and rely heavily on foreign imports, such as the carbonization furnace and high-temperature graphitization furnace necessary for the production of high-quality carbon fiber, mainly from the United States Harper International Company and Germany's Sigelia Carbon Company. The main reasons for the shortage of equipment are as follows: first, the lack of excellent simulation and design personnel, the relative lack of industrialization experience, coupled with the blockade of foreign technology, resulting in China's long-term backwardness in independent design of equipment; second, the three-dimensional structural design software in China's core industrial fields, such as mechanical field, temperature field and flow field simulation software, generally rely on imports; third, there is still an obvious difference between China's basic industry and Germany, Japan and other countries, which directly leads to an obvious gap between the manufacturing scale, process, precision, assembly scale and precision of carbon fiber equipment or core components, and the maintenance level is higher than the international first-class level. Fourth, there is an obvious gap between the quality of materials and those of powerful equipment countries, such as graphite heating body materials, graphite electrode materials and furnace liner materials of low-temperature carbonization furnaces.
3.The self-sufficiency rate of high-end products is not high, and the independent guarantee ability of high-end applications is insufficient.
Lack of original innovation ability, hollowing out of core technology, large-scale professional talent team and lack of intellectual property (core technology) reserve, resulting in low self-sufficiency rate of high-end products. China's main rare earth functional materials industry scale in the forefront of the world,“Big but not strong”The problem is still more prominent, especially in the automotive, electronics, new energy and other fields of high-end rare earth functional materials required by foreign monopoly. Some key technologies in the industry come from abroad, such as quick coagulation, hydrogen crushing, dysprosium infiltration and other key technologies in the production process of rare earth permanent magnets mainly come from Japan. Targeted air flow grinding technology, sintered NdFeB consistency, intelligent production equipment and technology, hot pressing magnet industrialization technology and high performance index NdFeB magnet, samarium cobalt magnet, etc. are still mastered by Japan, Europe, the United States and other countries and regions.
4.Disconnection between basic research and application, lagging progress in industrialization
Although some progress has been made in the basic research of new materials in some fields, and it is in a leading position in the number of research papers and patents, the basic research and application are out of touch, and the conversion efficiency of scientific research results from samples to products to commodities is low, and the industrialization ability is insufficient. As a result, the market is occupied by foreign enterprises. Universities, scientific research institutes and enterprises are separated in the system, the communication and cooperation are not sufficient, and the scientific research achievements are lack of timely and effective transformation and realization“industry-university-research”A sound mechanism for collaboration. The research results of universities and research institutes often only stay in the laboratory work stage, without the small-scale test and mass production verification of products, and the research and development of enterprises is not deep enough due to the lack of experimental analysis equipment. In terms of hot-pressed magnet materials, China's hot-pressed magnet anisotropy theory, orientation technology, grain boundary diffusion to improve magnet coercivity, non-heavy rare earth high coercivity hot-pressed magnet research and development, magnet microstructure regulation, hot-pressed magnet service performance research,“Hydrogenation‒disproportionation‒dehydrogenation‒Composite”The research and development of hot pressing magnets, magnetization mechanism and coercive force mechanism, and new preparation technology research and development have been at the world's advanced level, but the industrialization is very slow. In contrast, the United States and Japan have taken the lead in the industrial production and commercial application of hot-pressed magnets, such as the United States.MagnequenchThe company mainly producesMQ3Magnets, Japan's Datong Electronics Co., Ltd. has developed from the development and improvement of preparation technology to the improvement of magnet grain boundary diffusion process and performance improvement.
5.Inadequate market cultivation and failure of products to be applied on a large scale
Application and market are the necessary links for new materials to realize value transformation, and provide indispensable traction for their development. The research and development, application and market cultivation of some new materials in China have not achieved synchronous development, and there are problems such as lagging development of applied technology and ineffective market cultivation, resulting in the failure of large-scale application of products. At present, the scale of China's display industry has ranked first in the world, but the localization rate of display materials is insufficient.30%where critical materials are insufficient5%. The main reason for the high difficulty in industrialization and popularization and application of display materials is that there is a great process difficulty in moving from small-scale research and development to mass production. In terms of mass production technology, mass production equipment and other technologies, domestic manufacturers need to further increase investment, overcome key technical and technological problems, and break through a series of key engineering technologies as soon as possible. Due to the low trust of domestic materials in the industry for a long time, the verification cycle of entering the panel production line is longer.
6.Part of the field“Small, miscellaneous and scattered”Prominent problems, industry concentration is not high
The development model of new materials in the United States, Europe and other countries and regions relies on the assembly of large or giant production enterprises to occupy the absolute dominant position in the industry and market;“Small, miscellaneous and scattered”The problem is prominent, it is difficult to match the international giants in the same industry, and the market competitiveness is not strong. For example, in the field of electronic ceramic materials, the total output value of many backbone enterprises engaged in the production of chip components in China is less than that of Tokyo Electric Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. In terms of piezoelectric ceramic products, there are a large number of piezoelectric ceramic companies in my country. Among them, the larger companies include Suzhou Pante Diantao Technology Co., Ltd., Guangdong Jiecheng Kechuang Electronics Co., Ltd., etc., although they can produce some high-end piezoelectric Ceramic products, such as multilayer piezoelectric ceramic drivers, multilayer piezoelectric transformers, multilayer piezoelectric microspeakers and piezoelectric micromotors, etc.; but most companies are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the product structure is mainly low-end products, such as ignition, buzzer and a small number of filters, transducers and so on. Although China has made a number of technological achievements with independent intellectual property rights in the research and development of piezoelectric ceramics for many years, from the current overall situation of the industry, the market competitiveness and industrial technology level need to be improved, and the product structure needs to be upgraded.
7.Standards and evaluation system are not perfect, it is difficult to effectively support the development of technology
A sound comprehensive material performance testing and application technology evaluation system is the cornerstone of continuous support for technology and industry development, and a unified, scientific and standardized standard system is the basis for the interaction between upstream and downstream of the industry, and is the key to reduce product costs and improve research and development efficiency. However, the application of some new materials in China started late, the evaluation standard system is not yet perfect, and some key testing equipment and technologies are not fully autonomous and controllable, resulting in the obstruction of the benign development channel of the industry. In addition, the lack of voice in the international market in most industries has led to limited international recognition of products and technical standards in some industries, making it difficult to enhance the international competitiveness of products. Taking ion exchange membrane as an example, there is no national standard in China, the basic performance of the product is tested, and there are no unified supporting standards for the size of the electrodialysis membrane stack, grid, gasket, etc., which greatly limits the development of the ion exchange membrane industry.
4. a new material development system for emerging and future industries
The global science and technology and industrial competition pattern is being reshaped at an accelerated pace, with forward-looking predictions of cutting-edge and disruptive technologies, and planning for the layout of emerging industries and future industrial development becoming the key to building new competitive advantages for the country.“Outline of the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan”It is clearly stated in brain-like intelligence, quantum information, genetic technology, future networks,“Deep Sea Sky”Development, hydrogen energy and energy storage and other cutting-edge technology and industrial change areas, organize the implementation of future industry incubation and acceleration plan, plan the layout of a number of future industries.

It is a strategic measure to face new international relations and grasp the initiative of industrial development.“fourteen five”The key to the new competitive advantage of the period.
New materials are the foundation of the real economy, the basic industry supporting the development of the national economy and the key field to win international competitive advantage. Emerging industries and future industries have the characteristics of active innovation, technology-intensive, and broad development prospects, which are related to the overall situation of national economic and social development and industrial structure optimization and upgrading. The new material industry plays a fundamental and leading role in promoting the development of new industries. It is important to select key new material fields that support emerging industries and future development needs, create an environment suitable for industrial development, promote the upgrading of industrial structure, and form a good industrial ecology. significance. To this end, the following aspects should be cultivated and forward-looking layout for the future of the new material industry.

5.New materials industry support leading role highlighted
As the forerunner of the materials industry, new materials play an important supporting and leading role in promoting technological innovation, promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and ensuring national security. Our country has been in the basic type (T300Grade) carbon fiber development, engineering and key technologies for aerospace applications, wet high-strength (T700GGrade) key technologies for the development and engineering of carbon fiber, high-strength medium model (T800HA series of breakthroughs have been made in the engineering of carbon fiber and its application of key technologies, which have strongly supported the construction of China's satellite platforms, carrier rockets, large aircraft, weapons, ships and other major national equipment.8.5GenerationTFT-LCDThe glass float production line and the lithium aluminum silicon glass industrialization production line have broken the long-term monopoly of foreign enterprises in the field of high quality electronic display glass.

(II) problems
Although my country attaches great importance to the development of the new material industry and has initially established an industrial system with a relatively complete range of varieties, it still faces problems such as uneven advanced basic materials, key strategic materials being controlled by others, and cutting-edge new material technologies that need to be broken through,It is urgent to improve the original innovation ability, strengthen the independent control of key core technologies, and deeply integrate the innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain, talent chain and security guarantee.
1.Part of the basic raw materials rely on imports, a serious threat to the safety of the new material industry chain.
The intensification of the game between major powers and the persistence of regional conflicts have severely impacted the global economic order and political relations, and the world's technological competition pattern is changing. In the fields involving economic and social development, national defense equipment construction and people's well-being improvement, some new materials“stuck neck”The problem is becoming increasingly apparent. China's semiconductor materials field still has weak technical foundation and weak links in the industrial chain. Key raw and auxiliary materials such as high-purity synthetic quartz for photomasks, photomask substrates, photomask protective films, resins, monomers, additives for lithography materials, key raw materials used in the production of functional chemicals, electronic-grade chemicals, analytical and testing instruments and packaging materials, nano-scale abrasive materials for chemical mechanical polishing fluids, and raw materials for polishing pads, target materials with ultra-high purity raw materials ingots, packaging materials of high-end raw materials, gas supporting related facilities pipes, valves, packaging bottles, etc. still rely on imports. The high-performance ceramic powder industry for the preparation of advanced structural and functional integrated ceramic materials has long been monopolized by companies in Japan, Europe, and the United States. my country's high-performance nitride ceramic powders, such as silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, boron nitride and other powders, rely heavily on foreign imports. Although key technologies are being tackled in China and related products are already available, there is still a long way to go before real industrialization. distance.
2.Part of the core equipment has not yet achieved independent control, industrial development risks
The important reason why China's core equipment is controlled by others is the disconnection between R & D and production, the insufficient research on the interdisciplinary integration of materials, technology and equipment, and the lack of attention to the problems of process and equipment. There is a significant gap between China's carbon fiber production equipment and foreign countries, lack of independent design and manufacturing capacity of equipment, and rely heavily on foreign imports, such as the carbonization furnace and high-temperature graphitization furnace necessary for the production of high-quality carbon fiber, mainly from the United States Harper International Company and Germany's Sigelia Carbon Company. The main reasons for the shortage of equipment are as follows: first, the lack of excellent simulation and design personnel, the relative lack of industrialization experience, coupled with the blockade of foreign technology, resulting in China's long-term backwardness in independent design of equipment; second, the three-dimensional structural design software in China's core industrial fields, such as mechanical field, temperature field and flow field simulation software, generally rely on imports; third, there is still an obvious difference between China's basic industry and Germany, Japan and other countries, which directly leads to an obvious gap between the manufacturing scale, process, precision, assembly scale and precision of carbon fiber equipment or core components, and the maintenance level is higher than the international first-class level. Fourth, there is an obvious gap between the quality of materials and those of powerful equipment countries, such as graphite heating body materials, graphite electrode materials and furnace liner materials of low-temperature carbonization furnaces.
3.The self-sufficiency rate of high-end products is not high, and the independent guarantee ability of high-end applications is insufficient.
Lack of original innovation ability, hollowing out of core technology, large-scale professional talent team and lack of intellectual property (core technology) reserve, resulting in low self-sufficiency rate of high-end products. China's main rare earth functional materials industry scale in the forefront of the world,“Big but not strong”The problem is still more prominent, especially in the automotive, electronics, new energy and other fields of high-end rare earth functional materials required by foreign monopoly. Some key technologies in the industry come from abroad, such as quick coagulation, hydrogen crushing, dysprosium infiltration and other key technologies in the production process of rare earth permanent magnets mainly come from Japan. Targeted air flow grinding technology, sintered NdFeB consistency, intelligent production equipment and technology, hot pressing magnet industrialization technology and high performance index NdFeB magnet, samarium cobalt magnet, etc. are still mastered by Japan, Europe, the United States and other countries and regions.
4.Disconnection between basic research and application, lagging progress in industrialization
Although some progress has been made in the basic research of new materials in some fields, and it is in a leading position in the number of research papers and patents, the basic research and application are out of touch, and the conversion efficiency of scientific research results from samples to products to commodities is low, and the industrialization ability is insufficient. As a result, the market is occupied by foreign enterprises. Universities, scientific research institutes and enterprises are separated in the system, the communication and cooperation are not sufficient, and the scientific research achievements are lack of timely and effective transformation and realization“industry-university-research”A sound mechanism for collaboration. The research results of universities and research institutes often only stay in the laboratory work stage, without the small-scale test and mass production verification of products, and the research and development of enterprises is not deep enough due to the lack of experimental analysis equipment. In terms of hot-pressed magnet materials, China's hot-pressed magnet anisotropy theory, orientation technology, grain boundary diffusion to improve magnet coercivity, non-heavy rare earth high coercivity hot-pressed magnet research and development, magnet microstructure regulation, hot-pressed magnet service performance research,“Hydrogenation‒disproportionation‒dehydrogenation‒Composite”The research and development of hot pressing magnets, magnetization mechanism and coercive force mechanism, and new preparation technology research and development have been at the world's advanced level, but the industrialization is very slow. In contrast, the United States and Japan have taken the lead in the industrial production and commercial application of hot-pressed magnets, such as the United States.MagnequenchThe company mainly producesMQ3Magnets, Japan's Datong Electronics Co., Ltd. has developed from the development and improvement of preparation technology to the improvement of magnet grain boundary diffusion process and performance improvement.
5.Inadequate market cultivation and failure of products to be applied on a large scale
Application and market are the necessary links for new materials to realize value transformation, and provide indispensable traction for their development. The research and development, application and market cultivation of some new materials in China have not achieved synchronous development, and there are problems such as lagging development of applied technology and ineffective market cultivation, resulting in the failure of large-scale application of products. At present, the scale of China's display industry has ranked first in the world, but the localization rate of display materials is insufficient.30%where critical materials are insufficient5%. The main reason for the high difficulty in industrialization and popularization and application of display materials is that there is a great process difficulty in moving from small-scale research and development to mass production. In terms of mass production technology, mass production equipment and other technologies, domestic manufacturers need to further increase investment, overcome key technical and technological problems, and break through a series of key engineering technologies as soon as possible. Due to the low trust of domestic materials in the industry for a long time, the verification cycle of entering the panel production line is longer.
6.Part of the field“Small, miscellaneous and scattered”Prominent problems, industry concentration is not high
The development model of new materials in the United States, Europe and other countries and regions relies on the assembly of large or giant production enterprises to occupy the absolute dominant position in the industry and market;“Small, miscellaneous and scattered”The problem is prominent, it is difficult to match the international giants in the same industry, and the market competitiveness is not strong. For example, in the field of electronic ceramic materials, the total output value of many backbone enterprises engaged in the production of chip components in China is less than that of Tokyo Electric Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. In terms of piezoelectric ceramic products, there are a large number of piezoelectric ceramic companies in my country. Among them, the larger companies include Suzhou Pante Diantao Technology Co., Ltd., Guangdong Jiecheng Kechuang Electronics Co., Ltd., etc., although they can produce some high-end piezoelectric Ceramic products, such as multilayer piezoelectric ceramic drivers, multilayer piezoelectric transformers, multilayer piezoelectric microspeakers and piezoelectric micromotors, etc.; but most companies are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the product structure is mainly low-end products, such as ignition, buzzer and a small number of filters, transducers and so on. Although China has made a number of technological achievements with independent intellectual property rights in the research and development of piezoelectric ceramics for many years, from the current overall situation of the industry, the market competitiveness and industrial technology level need to be improved, and the product structure needs to be upgraded.
7.Standards and evaluation system are not perfect, it is difficult to effectively support the development of technology
A sound comprehensive material performance testing and application technology evaluation system is the cornerstone of continuous support for technology and industry development, and a unified, scientific and standardized standard system is the basis for the interaction between upstream and downstream of the industry, and is the key to reduce product costs and improve research and development efficiency. However, the application of some new materials in China started late, the evaluation standard system is not yet perfect, and some key testing equipment and technologies are not fully autonomous and controllable, resulting in the obstruction of the benign development channel of the industry. In addition, the lack of voice in the international market in most industries has led to limited international recognition of products and technical standards in some industries, making it difficult to enhance the international competitiveness of products. Taking ion exchange membrane as an example, there is no national standard in China, the basic performance of the product is tested, and there are no unified supporting standards for the size of the electrodialysis membrane stack, grid, gasket, etc., which greatly limits the development of the ion exchange membrane industry.
4. a new material development system for emerging and future industries
