New materials become the main engine of innovation in the textile industry

Recently, at the 2014 “Textile Light” China Textile Industry Federation Science and Technology Education Award Conference, Sun Ruizhe, Vice President of China Textile Industry Federation, stated that relying on new materials and breaking the monopoly of international technology has become an innovation in textile technology. The main engine.

Since the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, the textile industry has continuously increased the intensity of science and technology investment, and the industry’s key common technologies have achieved a series of breakthroughs. A large number of scientific and technological achievements have achieved industrialization, and product differentiation, industrial informatization, and modern enterprise management have achieved remarkable results. The ability of independent innovation has improved significantly. The "Textile Light" technology award-winning project is the epitome of China's textile technology innovation, reflecting the trend and characteristics of technological innovation in the textile industry in recent years.

New material technology innovation has become the biggest highlight. Nearly 20 achievements in this year's award-winning projects are achievements in the development of new fiber materials, indicating that the advantages of new textile materials technology continue to be maintained. Among them, the “Key Technology for High-modulus Aramid Fiber Industrialization and R&D of Complete Equipment” project has achieved localization of high-modulus aramid, ending the long-term reliance on imports and helping to meet China's national defense construction, aerospace and other fields. The urgent need.

With enterprises as the main body, the close cooperation between production, education, and research has become the main channel for technological innovation in the textile industry. Of the 135 projects that won the award this year, 52 are the joint research achievements of industry, universities, and research institutes, accounting for 39% of the total number of award-winning projects; of which, the first-prize-winner projects for production, teaching, and research cooperation account for 73%. With enterprises as the mainstay, cooperation between production, education and research has effectively promoted the ability of independent innovation of enterprises.

With the goal of upgrading products and increasing labor productivity, technological transformation has become the main battlefield of technological innovation. High-tech transformation of traditional industries has promoted the effectiveness of product replacement and increased the added value of products.

Based on support and protection, technical standards and soft science have become the main ties for technological innovation. At present, breakthroughs have been made in the basic and original achievements of the soft science and technology standards in the textile industry. Among the award-winning results this year, there are 8 soft science projects and 15 standard research projects, highlighting the achievements and international advantages that have been achieved in recent years in functional testing and evaluation, fiber quantitative analysis, and hazardous substance detection.

Sun Ruizhe said that although the results are significant, overall, the textile industry's ability to independently innovate still needs to be strengthened, and the endogenous driving force of innovation drives and the support role of human resources are still insufficient. Due to various reasons such as systems, mechanisms, and policies, there has been no effective complementarity between the transformation process of scientific and technological achievements in the textile industry and the use of research and production. It is necessary to radically break through the current difficulties of innovation. The research on the pilot and engineering of scientific and technological achievements needs to be strengthened to increase the maturity of scientific and technological achievements. "At present, many scientific and technological achievements are only at the laboratory stage, and they do not have the conditions for conversion. The results have thus been terminated. If blindly changing the pilots and engineering studies are not in place, it will also result in failure to achieve results. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the marketization of technological research and development. Demand-oriented, strengthen the research of engineering and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, explore new models of collaborative innovation in the industry chain, and avoid secondary or tertiary development in the process of the promotion of results, thereby accelerating the process of the transformation and application of results.” He believes that companies should realize that In the new situation, the survival and development of enterprises depends essentially on the technological innovation of enterprises, their ability to absorb scientific and technological achievements, and their operating capabilities. It is impracticable for enterprises to increase their profits through scaling up. Only by becoming the main body of transformation and promotion of scientific and technological achievements can they live better.

Sun Ruizhe said that the transformation of scientific and technological achievements is a comprehensive system project, and government and industry levels must also adopt policy guidance and strengthen intellectual property protection to create a good environment for the transformation of achievements. Gradually establish methods such as risk compensation, post-subsidy, venture capital guidance, etc., guide and guide enterprises in their technological innovation activities in accordance with market laws, and promote the transfer, transformation, capitalization, and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements. At the same time, it will strengthen the construction of science and technology intermediary service system, carry out all-round consultation activities such as technology, talents, capital, policies, laws, and management, and close the connection between technology suppliers and demanders, and promote the marketization of technology and the commercialization of results.
