Academic Weapon To Support Industrial Innovation And Development

"2011 China Textile annual conference" to explore the deep integration of academia and Industry

The "2011 China Textile academic annual meeting", which ended in Songjiang, Shanghai in October 22nd, once again made people feel that academia is not cold. It is neither and should not be a castle in the air, but a powerful support for industrial development.

The participants expressed their views on how to promote scientific and technological innovation and how to strengthen the organic integration of academic and industrial sectors.

Importance must be attached to basic research.

Since the reform and opening up, China's textile industry will introduce, digest, absorb and innovate as an important mode to promote the scientific and technological progress of the industry, so that the textile industry has achieved unprecedented development. China has thus become a well deserved textile power.

However, as the world textile industry has been pferred to China in large numbers, the textile giants such as Europe and the United States have gradually lost their R & D power. The technological innovation of China's textile industry must rely on independent innovation.

Therefore, basic research, especially applied basic research, will undoubtedly become an important part of China's textile industry.

As some experts said at this session, the current identification of scientific research projects often describes technology as "international advanced". In the future, we should gradually realize the "international leading" and "international originality" of various technologies.

Yu Jianyong, vice president of Donghua University, believes that in the coming period of development, the textile industry must shoulder the historic responsibility of advancing from "textile power" to "textile power".

Many experts admitted that domestic government departments and trade associations should pay more attention to textile basic research, which may still require the unremitting efforts of several generations.

At present, most of the textile scientific research achievements have been accumulated from more than 10 years or even twenty years ago. If the basic research can not be carried out effectively today, the progress of science and technology in the future will be difficult to sustain.

Yu Mingfang and Zhou Xiang, academicians of the Chinese Academy of engineering, hope to strengthen academic alliance through the high specification platform of academic annual meeting, and to guide scientific research in industrial field.

They stressed that the development of China's textile industry depends largely on the pfer of industrial and technological pfer from developed countries, and the main technological and equipment systems of the textile industry have continued the technological system of developed countries.

China has become a great textile country in the world, and has taken up the important task of upgrading the world textile industry.

For some people who hold the view that "textile is not a high-tech industry", Professor Hu Jinlian of Hong Kong Polytech University has disagreed.

She told reporters that in many historical periods such as the industrial revolution, the textile industry is a high-tech industry.

At present, textile industry will play an irreplaceable role in the fields of medical and health, pportation, aerospace and other fields.

In this process, the applied basic research of textile industry is particularly important.

In view of the specific problems of applied basic research, Professor Li Yi of Hong Kong Polytech University expounded the basic theory of quantitative quantification of textile engineering.

He believes that although the processing technology of textile and clothing made up of fiber materials has been accumulating for over 10000 years, the modern textile machine processing industry has also had a history of over 300 years, but the theoretical foundation of textile science has not been fully developed. The degree of scientific design of textile products is relatively low. The scientific application of textile engineering quantification in product design and production is still a severe challenge.

Therefore, we need to establish a systematic theoretical framework and combine the basic research in physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science and other fields with the application of engineering technology to explore the internal relationship between textile and clothing and human physiology, life process, medical treatment, behavior and health, and research and develop a scientific and quantitative engineering design system for the design and manufacture of textile and clothing products.

Multidisciplinary and multi field cross integration needs to be strengthened.

Textile Science and technology innovation needs cross disciplinary integration in many fields and fields, which has become the consensus of the industry.

Yao Mu, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, believes that the textile industry's new growth pole in the future will be fully embodied in industrial textiles. It needs a combination of various raw materials and various technologies, and its application domain and application environment are vastly different.

Wang Rui, a professor at Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology, points out that textile and clothing should be a combination of science, art and fashion. She thinks Italy brands are so popular.

Yao Mu pointed out that the development of the final products in the field of industry must be combined with "politics, production, learning, research and application", and we should develop new fiber varieties and new textile processing technology and equipment for various needs, develop a series of testing technologies and instruments, and set up a series of new standards.

Under the leadership of the government, the textile industry should be willing to play a supporting role, pushing the relevant organs and units of the end users to the leading position, jointly developing the services for the latter process, forming a complete industrial chain and the final product market.

At this session, some representatives discussed how to apply the experience and methods in other fields to the textile industry.

Dr Wang Ji, director of the China Science and Technology Development Strategy Institute, believes that the formulation of the industrial technology roadmap is conducive to solving the practical problems of external dependence on key technologies in the industry, the disconnection between technological innovation and industry and market, and the lack of organic integration of scientific research resources.

The roadmap of technological innovation began in the US automobile industry in the 70s of last century, and was adopted by a number of enterprises such as Motorola. After that, it was applied in many countries around the world, such as the United States, Canada, Britain, Japan and so on. Now it has become an important tool for the major developed countries to improve their industrial innovation ability and competitiveness.

Wang Ji emphasized that formulating the industrial technology roadmap is a systematic project. We must have a core team of experts, define industrial targets and leading products, define the main technical directions, and analyze, evaluate and recommend key technologies.

At the same time, we should conduct multi-level, multi factor analysis of intellectual property rights, competitiveness and policies.

"Exchanges between peers are promoted and intercourse exchanges are leaps".

At the meeting, he expounded the idea of using TRIZ theory and inventive problem solving theory to promote textile technology innovation.

The TRIZ theory is the objective law of the invention and creation summarized by Genrich Achsler, a former Soviet inventor, based on the analysis and study of 2 million 500 thousand patents.

The basic point is: first, whether it is a simple product or a complex technology system, the development of its core technology has evolved according to the objective laws. It can predict its growth status from the objective parameters such as the number of patent applications and the patent level. Secondly, the same rule has been applied repeatedly in other fields or technologies. Many innovations are essentially the application of other fields in a new field. Once again, people can actively carry out product design and predict the future development trend of products only by following the objective laws of product and technological development. Creating invention and innovation is not the exclusive ability of a few talents, and most people can master innovative skills through learning.

For textile industry, the importance of these basic viewpoints is that if we diligently study and learn from the successful experiences of other industries and analyze the laws of technological development, we can bring into full play the wisdom of all staff to innovate, and at the same time, it will play an important role in improving the decision-making ability of leaders and innovating efficiency of technological innovators.

Talent cultivation must be independent.

Talent cultivation is an important project in the development of the industry.

At this session, a group of talents who made outstanding contributions to the technological innovation of the textile industry were commended.

Professor Yu Jianyong of Donghua University won the "2011 China Textile Academy Award"; Tianjin University of Technology professor Cheng Bowen, Hong Kong Polytech University professor Hu Jinlian, Professor Jiangnan University Jiang Gaoming, Professor Shao Jianzhong, General Logistics Department Quartermaster Equipment Research Institute, Shi Mei Wu teaching high level, Professor Wang Rui, Kunlun China Engineering company, Professor Gao, Professor Gao, 8 textile talents were selected as "2011 China Textile academic leaders".

Just as Yu Jianyong's mood of excitement and apprehension in his awarding speech, the current situation of China's textile science and technology innovation, especially the cultivation of talents, is also exciting and perturbed. Opportunities and challenges will be parallel in the future.

Cheng Bowen, Hu Jinlian, Jiang Gaoming, Wang Rui and other winners in an interview with reporters said that textile industry demand for talent is very urgent.

Many enterprises are constantly recruiting talents every year, and specialized talents trained by schools are snatched away by enterprises after graduation, and demand exceeds supply.

But at the same time, they feel deeply that China should pform from a big textile country to a strong textile country, and the pressure of personnel training is enormous.

How to build a virtuous circle and meet the needs of different levels of talent echelon, how to fully stimulate the innovation and creativity of talents is the industry's current difficulties.

They agreed that schools should create favorable conditions to enrich students' basic knowledge structure, achieve organic integration among disciplines, and achieve innovation through disciplinary intersections.

Tao Xiaoming, a professor at Hong Kong Polytech University, takes Da Vinci and Stephen Jobs as examples to illustrate that talent training must be independent.

Vinci do Fondoye is both a painter, a sculptor, a philosopher, a geographer, a building engineer, etc.

Jobs, who has repeatedly worked miracles for Apple Corp and the world IT industry, is also widely interested. He is both an inventor and an entrepreneur. His ability to innovate has shocked the world.

Tao Xiaoming believes that the scientific and technological innovation in the textile industry must not be confined to the industry itself. It should learn from others and make use of the latest achievements of other industries such as computers and successful development models that can be used for reference.

Sun Ruizhe, vice president of the China Textile Industry Association and President of the China Textile Engineering Society, told reporters that in fact, there is a large proportion of the Chinese textile talents in the world.

However, China has not made full use of the deep academic deposits that have accumulated.

He hopes to promote talents training in the whole industry through the selection of academic awards, and enhance the position of Textile Science in the whole academic field of the country.

This year's meeting, a gratifying phenomenon is that Donghua University and a number of textile colleges and universities, master's degree and doctoral students participated actively, and actively interact with the participants, on the one hand, through the information obtained at the meeting to guide their experimental projects in schools, on the other hand, it also touched on the industry earlier, and learned to guide practice with theory, and put an end to the idea of "academic high above".

The path of feasible cooperation between industry, University and research is worth exploring.

At present, a basic way to promote the pformation of scientific research achievements and achieve effective docking with industry is the combination of production, study and research.

Many people in the industry have made different explorations on this road, and have made some achievements, but there are still many problems. Especially, how to achieve clear division of labor and organic cooperation among various links.

Professor Zhong Gao Gao, a professor at the Chinese Academy of textile science, points out that the cooperation between industry, University and research is a worldwide problem. There are several ways to achieve this mode abroad.

Take the United States as an example. They rely on projects or topics to select teams who meet the needs of different fields in the world to form a team and dissolve the team at the end of the project.

The advantage of this model is that it is convenient to cross disciplines, and that human, financial and material resources can be effectively utilized.

Japan takes the enterprise as the main body of innovation, takes the problem that the enterprise needs to solve as the leading goal, and decomposes the task into all links of the relevant departments and solves them piecewise.

The government has given strong support to the research and application of scientific research achievements, and the relevant state departments and research forces have been assisted.

In contrast, China's combination of production, teaching and research is rather confusing. In general, it is difficult to achieve academic lead and repeated research.

In the process of production, education and research, some systems and regulations need to be solved by the state.

In Yu Jianyong's opinion, there are at least several essential elements for scientific research to be pformed into productive forces.

First of all, scientific research topics should grasp the major and key technical issues of industrial development, and be able to solve major demand, such as biomass fiber materials that are conducive to alleviating the predicament of raw materials, promoting sustainable development of industry, and high-tech fiber materials that meet the needs of national defense and military industry.

Secondly, the key technology group should be formed, and many technologies related to the target should be integrated to achieve a major breakthrough.

Thirdly, the level of engineering should be kept up and the breakthrough in science and technology can be reflected in the scale of production.

Finally, the level of manufacturing and the level of application of consumer appeals should be matched in the process of industrialization.

In addition, talents, funds and other elements are indispensable.

Generally speaking, we must form a strategic management system for technological innovation and achievements pformation.

At present, in the process of cooperation with universities, some enterprises may have too much desire to create benefits for scientific research. They even violate the regularity of scientific research and lead to some adverse consequences. Universities and other research institutions want enterprises to give understanding and support.

Similarly, enterprises also hope that colleges and universities can combine the academic and the industrial, and can not be "empty to the air".

Jiang Gaoming, a professor at Jiangnan University, pointed out that colleges and universities should take corresponding responsibilities. If we want to give real things to enterprises, we can not simply shift money from one pocket to another, and win a win-win situation.

The protection of intellectual property rights has also aroused great concern in the industry.

At the meeting, Dr. Ma Qiujuan, a State Intellectual Property Office, discussed the issue of enterprise patent practice.

In her view, "innovation + Zero patent" is a very dangerous thing for an enterprise.

Enterprises can achieve the protection of innovation results through patent applications.

Coincidentally, reporters in the process of talking with some enterprises, found that enterprises are very distressed about the protection of intellectual property rights, and they are powerless for the super replication ability in the country.

In addition, the 118 latest scientific research achievements and high-tech incubator projects compiled in this annual meeting reflect the direction of scientific and technological innovation in the textile industry. These achievements and the industrialization and marketization of the project deserve our attention.
