Wei Wei, deputy dean of the Materials College of Changzhou University, told reporters that at present, the gap between China’s advanced high-end materials in the fields of electronics, aviation, and energy and developed countries is caused by many factors. In the past, we were in advanced materials. Basic and applied research has done a lot of work, but it has not persisted in doing so, resulting in no major breakthroughs in basic theory and applied research. The most sad thing is that some have made a pave for foreign countries.
The basic research and application of advanced materials is a systematic scientific research process. Therefore, instead of relying on a single basic principle to study and attach importance to basic algorithms, we can achieve breakthroughs in originality. The basic research has been done solidly. If you do it in a new way, you can promote it. If you do it in general, it will naturally not be promoted. From the point of causing problems, the key is that some government agencies, scientific research institutions, and manufacturing companies pay attention to immediate interests, neglect long-term stable investment, and lack long-term commitment. Persistence, many key researches show 'weaning' phenomenon, resulting in some research and application of 'difficult' to do so, and then stop halfway.' Xie Sishen said.
According to experts, large amounts of advanced materials are used and risks are high. Regardless of basic research and applied technology issues, multi-disciplinary needs are required to solve problems. For IC industry, for many years, there has been a lot of national and local investment, but many integrated circuits still rely on chips. Imports, which only spent more than US$260 billion on imported chips last year. Among them, self-supply of high-end ultra-pure chemicals used in microelectronics processing accounts for only about 10% of total demand, and it has been difficult to support the development of China’s strategic emerging industries and industries.
'Our industry development is often 'one-on-one'. More than 10 years ago, when photovoltaics started, some local governments and enterprises were impractical and blindly put projects. In recent years, graphene is also the same, and bases are built everywhere. The construction of factories, production lines, ignoring the research of key materials such as basic materials, equipment, and other important aspects, resulting in incomplete industrial chain, low-end products, homogenization is very serious.' Wei Wei said.
How to break through? According to Chen Qun, president of Changzhou University, China urgently needs advanced materials to support industrial changes. Therefore, it is very important to accelerate the development of advanced materials industries. Especially in the special metal functional materials, high-end metal structural materials, advanced polymer materials, and new inorganic materials. Non-metallic materials, high-performance composite materials and other frontier material fields have huge application needs. Colleges and universities must unwaveringly implement innovation, coordination, green, open, and shared development concepts. In the development and reform of the advanced materials industry, we must take the initiative to undertake the historic mission of providing frontier technical solutions, excellent talents, basic and applied research support for the development of advanced materials.
At the same time, it is necessary to promote the integration of production and education, deepen cooperation between schools and universities, and cooperation between schools and enterprises, speed up the training of high-level talents, focus on key links, highlight innovation and innovation, strengthen the drive mechanism, and fully exploit the advantages and features of advanced materials industry development. Theory, forming a system, guiding practice, efforts to produce a number of service areas, service industry's landmark results.
Wei Wei introduced that China's advanced materials research and application, on the one hand, started late in the international arena, especially some key core technologies, which are the 'bottleneck' that restricts the development of the entire industry; on the other hand, foreign countries have long blocked key technologies for China. Materials and key equipment have caused a widening gap in some core technologies. Only by relying on their own strengths to achieve catch-up. Therefore, Changzhou University aims at the development status of China's advanced materials industry, and takes industrial demand and social services as the guide. With innovative management as the starting point, we will increase the construction of scientific research platforms and collaborative innovation systems, and fully implement effective scientific research on 'indomitable sites'. At present, we have established comprehensive cooperation relationships with over 50 large-scale petroleum and petrochemical enterprises and 38 governments at or above the county level in the country. The company has built 18 provincial-level engineering and technical centers, 36 school-enterprise joint research and development centers, 325 production and research bases, and 369 school-enterprise alliances.
“We have always made organic materials, new energy materials, advanced high-performance materials, and high-performance composite materials as the main targets for advanced materials research. We have achieved a number of breakthrough results in basic theory and applied research. Local emerging industries and industry development have played a leading and supporting role. Among them, on the advanced metal materials, the university’s Jiangsu Provincial Natural Capital Project and international cooperation project—the design and preparation of copper alloy nanostructures have solved the problem of high strength and The problem of contradiction and balance between high conductivity. ' Wei Wei said.
Experts suggest that China must make major breakthroughs in the field of advanced materials. The government should effectively improve the evaluation system for science and technology, attach importance to establishing a long-term and stable investment mechanism, effectively solve the 'weaning' phenomenon of major projects, and pay attention to building a high-end academic exchange platform to optimize innovation. The environment stimulates innovation and vitality, integrates innovation resources, consolidates subject objectives and directions, raises the level of discipline construction, focuses on regional, industrial, and cutting-edge scientific issues, and forms an all-dimensional, multi-level, wide-area scientific and technological cooperation pattern; Strengthen research institutes and enterprises, carry out more basic and applied research, increase common key technologies, support the application of innovation achievements in the industry, promote advanced materials to high-end, and meet the needs of China's strategic emerging industries.
At this academician forum, 26 academicians from the fields of new energy, materials, artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and the environment, as well as experts from universities, research institutes, and related companies, conducted extensive academic exchanges, discussed cutting-edge issues, and shared innovations. Experience. At the same time, led by the National Energy Group, Guangzhou Energy Research Institute, Changzhou University and the Low Carbon Institute jointly established the 'New Energy and Environmental Collaborative Innovation Center'.
