▲ Lv Jiabin

　　 Lv Jiabin, Vice President of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, introduced the development status, demand and trend of China's high-performance fiber industry. At present, China's high performance fiber technology has made significant progress. Carbon fiber has achieved breakthroughs in key technologies of T1000, T1100, M55J, M60J, and M40X carbon fiber, and established an independent technology system; Para aramid fiber and meta aramid fiber have made new technological breakthroughs, promoting the continuous expansion of scale and expanding application fields; UHMWPE fiber industry ranks among the world's advanced ranks; The continuous basalt fiber industry has steadily improved its technology to reach the international advanced level; Positive results have also been achieved in the development of other high-performance fibers.

　　 As one of the representatives of the high-performance fiber industry, Zhang Dingjin, a technical expert of Zhongfu Shenying Carbon Fiber Co., Ltd., introduced the development of the global carbon fiber industry in 2023, as well as the future technology development trend and application prospects of carbon fiber. In 2023, competition in the global carbon fiber market will intensify. First, sales declined. Affected by the declining demand for sports goods and wind power, the sales volume of domestic carbon fiber is about 50000 tons. Second, the industry and enterprises are facing inventory pressure. Relevant data shows that by November 2023, the carbon fiber inventory has reached 12260 tons, the highest since 2020. Third, the imbalance between supply and demand. There are many new and commissioned projects of carbon fiber, but the downstream demand growth is relatively slow.

　　 Zhang Dingjin also focused on the application prospects of carbon fiber and its composites in aircraft, wind turbine blades, automobiles and other fields. For example, the use of carbon fiber and its composites on aircraft has obvious emission reduction effect. If 50% of the aircraft fuselage structure is made of carbon fiber and its composite materials, the weight of the fuselage will be reduced by 20%, and the fuel efficiency will be increased by about 7%. After 10 years of use, the emissions of each aircraft can be reduced by 27000 tons. The use of carbon fiber and its composite materials can extend the life of wind turbine blades, and the diameter can be expanded to more than 100 meters. The power generation capacity of the wind power device is proportional to the square of the blade length. After the blade is significantly longer, the unit power generation will increase significantly. Compared with coal-fired and oil fired power generation (the average value of coal-fired and oil fired power generation), if the wind turbine is used for 25 years, 318000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent can be reduced per wind turbine. The use of carbon fiber and its composites in automobiles, especially in the field of electric vehicles, also has obvious emission reduction effects. Compared with the body mainly made of high-strength steel and aluminum, if 16% carbon fiber and its composite materials are used in the body of a medium-sized electric SUV, the body can be reduced by 16%, the battery can be reduced by 13%, and the fuel consumption of the car will be improved. In the future, the demand for carbon fiber in aircraft, wind power, pressure vessel, automobile and other industries will continue to grow, and the global demand for carbon fiber is expected to be 500000 tons by 2050.

　　 For the future development of the carbon fiber industry, Zhang Dingjin said that the industry should further improve the performance of carbon fiber, for example, the development of high-strength carbon fiber (such as T1200) is an important direction of the technology development of the carbon fiber industry; To further reduce production costs; It is necessary to strengthen the research and industrialization of carbon fiber recycling technology, such as introducing full life cycle assessment (LCA), further promoting energy conservation and consumption reduction, establishing and expanding the supply chain of carbon fiber recycling, and achieving sustainable development.

　　 At the same time, the forum of high-performance fibers and composites for aerospace, high-performance fibers and composites for new energy, and high-performance fibers and composites technology innovation forum were successfully held. Industry experts and scholars shared the technologies of high-performance fibers and composites such as carbon fiber, aramid fiber, polyimide fiber, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, basalt fiber Market, as well as its applications in composite gas cylinders, wind turbine blades, civil engineering, automotive lightweight and other fields.
