New material is newly developed or under development, superior performance of some materials with more excellent than the performance of traditional materials. New material technology is in accordance with the will, by physics, material design, material processing, test evaluation and a series of research process, to create to meet the needs of new materials technology.
The use of composite materials can be traced back to ancient history. Increase in use since ancient times clay and straw have been used for centuries on the reinforced concrete are two kinds of composite materials. 1940s, the need for the aviation industry, the development of glass fiber reinforced plastic (commonly known as FRP), composite materials from the emergence of the name. After 50 years, gradually developed a carbon fiber, graphite fiber and boron fiber high strength and high modulus fibers. 70 years there has been aramid fiber and silicon carbide fibers. These high strength, high modulus fibers with synthetic resin, carbon, graphite, ceramic, rubber and other non-metallic substrate or aluminum, magnesium, titanium and other metal matrix composites, constitute the distinctive composite.
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber specific strength in a variety of fiber in the first place, especially its anti-corrosion properties of chemical reagents and excellent anti-aging properties. It also has excellent high-frequency sonar by and corrosion resistance of many countries have used it to manufacture high-frequency naval sonar dome, greatly improving the ship's mine detection, mine clearance capacity in the domestic Scarlett development of new composite materials, new materials on behalf of the domestic high level. In addition to the military field, in automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, medical equipment, sports equipment and other areas of UHMWPE Yarn fibers have broad application prospects. Once the fibers come out on the world's developed countries attracted great interest and attention.
When energy saving has been related to the development of national strategy, when the green become the new material would be nothing wrong with one of the foundations of modern industrial development. Second Five-Year plan in 2011 set sail to see how to face the challenges of the new materials industry, to seize the opportunity take the "second five" fast track of economic development, further development, we will wait and see.
