Sichuan's super-hard materials and other new materials industry flourish

On September 9, the 2013 International New Material Development Trends High-Level Forum hosted by the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China was held in Chengdu. More than 20 academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering and more than 50 young and middle-aged experts from the new materials field discussed the latest developments and cutting-edge theories of new materials, and jointly promoted independent innovation and technological advancement in new materials science and industry. It is reported that in recent years, the new material industry in Sichuan Province has flourished, and a new material industry in six major fields, such as vanadium and titanium materials, silicon lithium materials, superhard materials and biomedical materials, has been formed. A number of new materials companies are making bigger and stronger. .

The New Materials High Level Forum is one of the series of high-level forums that the Chinese Academy of Engineering has an important influence in the field of new materials. The main topics of this forum include electronic materials, coating materials, nano materials, biological materials, material genomes, material characterization and rare metals. Metallurgy has been in the field of seven new materials, and has established a series of exchanges of production, study and research.

It is understood that the new materials are the basis and precursor for the upgrading of traditional industries and the development of high-tech industries. They are recognized by the world as the cornerstone of the high-tech industry in the 21st century. Accelerating the development of new materials industries and enhancing industrial competitiveness have become the United States, Japan, and Germany. An important part of the implementation of sustainable development strategies in many developed countries. At present, China's new materials industry is in a stage of strong development, and the new materials industry accounts for about 30% of GDP.
