Attention: What Is The Future Development Of Textile Science And Technology

"Break the boundary, everything can weave!" What is the future development of textile science and technology? What subversive changes will be brought about by the change and innovation of textile science and technology in the world?

From December 1 to 4, the first "2022 international textile frontier science and Technology Conference and World Textile University Alliance Annual Meeting" was held in Donghua University. More than 110 keynote reports were successfully conducted with the participation of more than 60 units from 12 countries. Focusing on the cutting-edge and key issues of modern textile processing technology, intelligent textile, biomedical textile, ecological textile, textile equipment, etc., well-known experts in the world's textile and related fields gather in the cloud to contribute wisdom to the prosperity and development of global textile science and technology and education industry.

Textile cutting edge technology "promising"

The convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China provides a key idea for the development of textile discipline and industry. As the leader of the world textile industry, China has always adhered to self-reliance with science and technology and demonstrated its responsibility. Textile has the ideal characteristics of carrying the people's growing needs for a better life. It spans 12 scales ranging from nanometer to kilometer. Traditional textile "changes greatly" and takes a "science and technology carriage". It is rapidly penetrating into biomedicine, brain computer interface, aerospace, energy management, intelligent wearable and other fields. At the conference, academicians and experts from Canadian Academy of engineering, Russian Academy of natural sciences, Japanese Academy of engineering, American Academy of Sciences and other units threw out "sharp" views, collided with innovative sparks, and made suggestions for the "promising" textile frontier science and technology.

Yu Jianyong, chairman of the conference, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and President of Donghua University, said that nanofibers can be widely used in thermal insulation, intelligent textiles, through the refinement of electrospun nanofibers, the expansion of materials from organic to inorganic, the transformation of structure from fluffy to dense, and the construction of dimensions from two-dimensional to three-dimensional Filtration and separation are closely related to people's life.

"The textile industry chain is complete, with huge market opportunities!" Cui Yi, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences and a professor at Stanford University, said. Polyolefin fabric with infrared characteristics and porous structure is a new kind of "light and warm" fabric. Its rich material technology is expected to promote the realization of the global economic "carbon neutral" vision.

How to implement cutting edge textile technology? Xing mengqiu, academician of Canadian Academy of engineering and professor of Manitoba University in Canada, said at the Forum: "we start from the application-oriented basic research, and carry out the mechanism research of self-healing hydrogel biomedical textiles, which reflects the clinical value of cutting-edge textile technology."

Members of the international textile society Tao Xiaoming, Dean of the Institute of intelligent wearable Department of Hong Kong Polytechnic University, expressed his academic views on the development prospect of intelligent materials: "flexible intelligent wearable system combines the cutting-edge technologies of intelligent materials, microelectronics, fiber structure and artificial intelligence, and is expected to help Parkinson's patients improve their walking quality through early detection and active intervention."

Textile advanced technology and industry "infinite vitality"

The general public still has the inherent impression that textile is spinning and weaving, and the textile industry has already had high-tech robes. In the reports of the major forums of this conference, a new picture of "the moon is seen in nine days, and turtles are caught in the next five oceans".

"With the development of information technology and digital technology, the future of textile and clothing will be fully flexible printing. Maybe in the future, there will be a clothing printer at the door of each community. After swiping the card, you can wait for the clothing to be printed," said Fu Guangwei, vice president of the conference, President of the China Textile Engineering Association and chairman of the Asian Textile Association, "Such a scenario means that China's textile industry will face tremendous changes in cutting-edge science and technology."

"Cutting edge and cutting edge textile research will bring fundamental subversion to the advanced textile industry!" Li Lingshen, vice president of the conference, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation and Secretary of the Party committee of China Textile Engineering Association, said that the key technical aspects of the future development of textile industry include high value, green and wide application of new fiber materials; The common basic research of advanced textiles and the technical problems of digitization and automation are solved.

Academician of Japanese Academy of engineering Ni Qingqing, executive deputy director of Zhejiang Modern Textile Innovation Center, pointed out in his report that: "The application of modern textiles represented by lightweight high-strength carbon fiber composites in transportation fields such as automobile high-speed rail and electromagnetic shielding field shows that under the environmental requirements of" carbon peak, carbon neutral ", modern textile cutting-edge technology provides good opportunities for industrial development and innovation." Mei SHUNQI, an academician of the Russian Academy of natural sciences and professor of Wuhan Textile University, said that in the future, the textile industry will achieve high-quality development mainly through the transformation and upgrading of traditional to cutting-edge technologies, and green manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing are both important starting points for the textile industry to realize the "dual carbon strategy".

In terms of "the path of innovation and development of textile equipment", Zhu Xianmin, senior consultant of China Textile Machinery Association, expert of national intelligent manufacturing standardization expert advisory group and former chairman of intelligent manufacturing expert group of national manufacturing Power Construction Strategy Advisory Committee, believes that at present, there are four directions: Industrial Revolution, technological progress, product innovation and material development.

"Global textile technology innovation is expected to be realized through two aspects." Sun Ruizhe, honorary chairman of the conference, chairman of the International Federation of textile manufacturers and President of the China Textile Industry Federation, pointed out that, "First, focus on the innovation of textile equipment, materials, processes and products, change the industrial form with cutting-edge science and technology, and nurture the industry's future and future industries; second, focus on expanding the textile related bioeconomy, big health field, digital creative industry and marine economy, and extend the industrial boundary with cutting-edge science and technology, and promote the integration of innovation and innovation."

"Belt and road" circle of friends

Talk about building a world textile "community"

At the same time, the annual meeting of the World Federation of textile universities was held. The alliance is an unincorporated academic group initiated by Donghua University and universities with textile characteristics around the world in 2018. It has 35 member universities from 18 countries.

The theme of this annual meeting is "sharing digital opportunities and creating a green future". University representatives from China, Pakistan, Serbia, Iran and Malaysia, experts, scholars and industry representatives from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and institutions exchanged and shared views on how to cope with the new opportunities and challenges brought about by changes in the world situation under the background of normalization of global epidemic situation, In depth exchange of new strategies for the development of textile science and technology among countries along the belt and road: accelerating the green transformation of development mode, promoting the green and low-carbon sustainable development of international textile industry, so as to further promote the exchange and cooperation of textile and clothing universities in the countries along the belt and road, and provide technical and intellectual support for the construction of the belt and road initiative.

"In recent years, based on textile, materials, design and other advantageous disciplines, Donghua University closely meets the national strategic needs, tracks the forefront of international textile academic and industrial development, constantly expands the discipline development fields, serves the national textile industry in science and technology research and self-reliance, and a large number of scientific research results are widely used in aerospace, construction engineering, environmental protection and other fields." Yu Jianyong pointed out that, "In the future, Donghua University will take this conference as an opportunity to continue to give full play to its discipline advantages in advanced textile, gather elites and gather wisdom, make new contributions to the prosperity and development of global textile science and technology, education and industry, and strive to become the leader of international textile education and scientific and technological innovation, and use the Chinese wisdom of textile people to refine the Chinese side of world textile discipline development Case.
