Inventory of potential stocks for future textile technology

The rapid development of today's technology has also stimulated the emergence of various high-tech textile materials in the textile industry. Functional textile raw materials and high-performance fibers have not only appeared in household daily use, but also widely used in transportation, sanitation, environmental protection and other fields. Foreign related textile technology has been used in the fire, but the domestic technology is still relatively lacking. In order to promote the development of China's textile industry in the future and reduce the dependence on technology imports , China's textile industry in the future will also focus on the following technologies:

1, graphene

Graphene is the newest nanomaterial that is the thinnest, hardest, and most conductive and thermally conductive. Graphene is called "black gold" and is "the king of new materials ." Scientists even predict that graphene will "completely change the 21st century."

Interestingly, graphene was born without the use of “tall” science, but was “sticked” from graphite crystals by two scientists at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom.

Graphene's current potential is to become a substitute for silicon, making ultra-micro transistors for the production of future supercomputers. According to relevant experts, using graphene instead of silicon, computer processors will run hundreds of times faster. Recently, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States have found that graphene can be converted into a topological insulator with unique functions under certain circumstances. This research finds that it is expected to bring a new way of making quantum computers.

Second, graphene can help the development of supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries. According to relevant data, the addition of graphene material, the same volume of capacitance can be expanded by more than 5 times the capacity, and the addition of graphene to the lithium battery electrode can greatly improve its conductivity. In addition, graphene can be used in circuits, touch screens, gene sequencing, and in the manufacture of wing-like ultralight aircraft, ultra-tough body armor.

2, carbon fiber

Carbon fiber is a new type of fiber material with high strength and high modulus fibers with a carbon content of over 95%. Carbon fiber is a kind of fiber that is “outer and soft inside”. Carbon fiber has good corrosion resistance, but it will corrode under special chemical action (strong acid, etc.). As the carbon fiber of the future technology, it can be processed into paper products, textiles, mats, and the like.

3. Degradable fiber polylactic acid (PLA) fiber

The development of new spinning technology through polylactic acid, the development of this new technology has achieved a major breakthrough in the textile industry, filling the gap in the textile industry in China in the field of degradable materials.

4, the new yarn opening fiber

The yarn-opening fiber is obtained by dispersing thousands of velvet yarns at the end of the fiber, and the fiber is more absorbent and softer than the conventional cotton fiber. This fiber was first used to produce bath towel products.

5, aramid fiber

Aramid fiber is a new type of synthetic fiber with high strength, anti-aging, insulation and other excellent properties, but the aramid fiber has poor heat resistance. Aramid fiber is mainly used in military, aviation and other fields. The development of domestic aramid fiber technology has just started. Developed countries have already applied aramid to military aircraft equipment such as bulletproof clothing.
