We hope to take this forum as an opportunity to deepen cooperation with industry colleagues and jointly build an open, collaborative and win-win industrial ecology.

High end dialogue, new quality fiber, leading innovative development

Scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation are the basic paths to develop new quality productivity. In the keynote report, Zhu Meifang gave a report titled "High Performance Functionalization of Polymer Fiber Materials". She analyzed the realization path of the integration of fiber material innovation chain and industrial chain from the aspects of building a collaborative innovation platform, improving the system and mechanism, strengthening the dominant position of enterprise innovation, and improving the efficiency of scientific and technological achievements transformation. Today, fiber based full scene applications have covered the foundation of people's livelihood (clothing, food, housing, transportation) and strategic emerging fields (use, medicine, intelligence), and fiber plays a multi-dimensional supporting role in the development of modern society. The report mainly shared the research progress of polyphenylene sulfide superfine fiber and its multi-dimensional structure composites, as well as the construction of strong and tough fire resistant aerogel fiber by organic-inorganic composite double network. In the future, AI assisted polymer development is imperative. The first big model of fiber knowledge in China, AlphaFiber 1.0, developed by Donghua University and Tsinghua University, has been officially released, which will provide strong help for the research and development of fiber materials.

In the report "Double carbon driven green transformation of the chemical fiber industry", Chen De elaborated on the core policies of the EU to promote green transformation, which brought many inspirations to China's chemical fiber industry. He pointed out that in the context of the "dual carbon" goal, China has vigorously promoted the construction of a green manufacturing system at the national level and actively encouraged the research and development of circular economy and low-carbon technology, which has created extremely favorable conditions for the transformation of the chemical fiber industry. The chemical fiber industry should closely focus on the demand for green and low-carbon technology, fully implement energy conservation and emission reduction measures, make full use of the dual drive of policy and market, accelerate the pace of industrial upgrading and innovation, so as to break through the bottleneck in the transformation process. In the future, the chemical fiber industry will make great strides towards the direction of circular economy and bio based materials, focusing on promoting the large-scale production of renewable fibers, the recycling of waste textiles, and the development of biodegradable fibers.

Achievements released Green growth pole of chain fiber industry

Green development is the background of high-quality development, and new quality productivity itself is green productivity. The two key technological achievements of the forum, "Key Technology for High Quality In situ Polymerization Solution Colored Polyester Fiber Large Capacity Preparation" and "High Efficiency Preparation and Industrialization Technology Development of Lyocell Filament", are representative achievements of the new quality productivity of the industry.

"The in-situ polymerization method is to first superfine the pigment and disperse it in the polyester monomer, and then polymerize it on the surface of the superfine pigment to generate high molecular weight polyester. Compared with the masterbatch coloring technology, the project technology is used to produce the raw liquid colored polyester fiber, and the energy consumption per ton of production is reduced by more than 12kg of standard coal, which can significantly reduce carbon emissions." Qiu Zhicheng, senior engineer of General Technology China Textile Academy, introduced that the project has developed the key technology and equipment for high-capacity preparation of high-quality in-situ polymerization stock solution dyed polyester fiber, built the world's first 100000 t/a production line, improved the quality of stock solution dyed polyester fiber, helped to improve the replacement ratio of stock solution dyeing to traditional dyeing, and reduced textile printing and dyeing pollution. It has outstanding characteristics of being replicable and promotable. Through project promotion, it is expected to form a production capacity of one million tons, which will significantly enhance the overall competitiveness of China's liquid dyed polyester fiber industry and promote China's liquid dyed fiber industry to achieve technological "leadership".

During the meeting, the terminal application effect of the technical achievement was dynamically displayed.

Cui Guixin, Deputy General Manager of General Technology China Textile Academy, introduced in the report entitled "Efficient Preparation and Industrialization Technology Development of Lyocell Filament" that Lyocell fiber is known as the green fiber with the most development potential in the 21st century. Lyocell filament has the advantages of green sustainability, high quality and high-end, strong competitiveness, and rising demand. It is highly consistent with national policies and industry trends, and can produce significant social and ecological benefits. For a long time, Lyocell filament has faced a number of industrialization problems. China Textile Institute of General Technology has broken through the bottleneck of industrial technology, realized the first 300 m/min full process stable preparation in China, and has independent intellectual property rights and integrated whole system innovation. Lyocell filament can meet the urgent demand for pure natural and high-quality life in the field of clothing and home textile. Lyocell industrial filament is expected to become an ideal bio based material in the field of transportation and industrial manufacturing with its advantages of high strength, heat resistance, durability, etc., and has a broad market prospect.

In the interaction and exchange link, the guests discussed and exchanged in-depth about the transformation and application of green technology achievements, cost control, profit space, industrial transformation and other issues, and jointly explored and developed new opportunities for the industry through multi-dimensional thinking collision.

The technological innovation in the field of fiber materials is not only a breakthrough in industrial transformation and upgrading, but also a core driving force to achieve the "double carbon" goal and lead the transformation of the global textile industry chain. Jiang Junhua, on behalf of the sponsor of the event, said that as a "national team" in the field of fiber materials, General Technology New Materials and China Textile Academy will always keep in mind the "biggest player in the country", adhere to leading industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, and take the national key laboratory of bio based fiber materials, chemical fiber industry technology innovation strategic alliance and other platforms as support, Work together with industry colleagues to build a technological highland, continue to tackle the "choke" problem in the field of fiber materials, and promote more "from 0 to 1" original breakthroughs and "from 1 to 100" technological innovation; Work together to build a green ecology, and cooperate with upstream and downstream enterprises to create a low-carbon circular industrial chain closed-loop; Jointly shoulder the mission of the times, vigorously cultivate and develop new quality productivity, and jointly paint a bright future for the green development of chemical fiber industry.

As an important itinerary before the conference, the delegation also visited Shiming Technology, learned about the practical experience of enterprises through on-site exchanges and observation, gathered consensus on cooperation, and deepened cooperation intentions.

This forum is not only a display platform for cutting-edge technological achievements, but also a high-end dialogue platform for building consensus on industry development. The chemical fiber industry is drawing a vibrant answer sheet of new quality productivity with scientific and technological innovation as the pen and green development as the ink. In the future, with more "good technologies" and "good products" taking root, China's chemical fiber industry will accelerate to the high-end of the global value chain, and inject strong momentum into the construction of a high-end, intelligent and green modern textile industry system.
