Disciplinary collaboration and industry collaboration impact the highland of independent innovation of new chemical materials

Build an independent innovation system, the period of strategic opportunity should not be missed

"Compared with advanced foreign countries, China's new chemical materials are still relatively backward
.
For example, almost all high-end reverse osmosis membrane materials in drainage desalination are imported
.
The higher the technical content, the greater the gap in China
.
" Jiang Zhongyi It goes without saying that China is a big manufacturing country, and the status quo of the industry determines that new materials must catch up
.
At present, China is in a critical period of manufacturing transformation and upgrading, and major equipment and applications are inseparable from the support of materials
.

He believes that to change this status quo, it is necessary to build an independent innovation system.
"In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the coordination of multi-disciplinary fields and multi-technical fields.
This is an important aspect; it is also necessary to build a digital R&D platform and carry out big data and digital R&D.
In the past, it was possible to screen out 1,000 materials through experiments in order to meet a certain purpose.
If computer screening and machine learning are used, the development cycle can be greatly shortened
.
"

The key tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan for New Chemical Materials indicate that we must proceed from national needs, give priority to ensuring national security, expand space, ocean and other space resources, meet the needs of life and health, and energy conservation and emission reduction
.
All these need to seize the commanding heights of technology, enhance independent support capabilities, and make up for the shortcomings of key products
.

Jiang Zhongyi, for example, took some cutting-edge and high-end membrane materials as examples.
Although they have not yet fully moved into industrial applications, they have already emerged in the research level of the laboratory and have shown good prospects
.
Although it is a partial lead, once this type of material is developed in the future, it may become a world leader
.

"This is a strategic opportunity.
Whoever takes the lead will use other materials in the future, and the period of strategic opportunity should not be missed
.
" Jiang Zhongyi believes
.
With regard to supporting the research and development and application of domestically produced new chemical materials, the state has already established policy guidance, such as establishing demonstration parks, setting up major special support for new materials, and building a multi-disciplinary and multi-field collaborative innovation system
.

The current lack of support in the domestic market is also a bottleneck that needs to be broken
.
Jiang Zhongyi said that initial market cultivation is a key link in the promotion and application of new materials.
The difficulty in the promotion and application of new materials is a key bottleneck restricting the industrialization of China's new material technological innovation achievements
.
For new materials that have achieved technological and industrial breakthroughs in China, their application and innovation in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain should be accelerated, and more inclined support for domestic new materials should be given
