Have you ever heard of aramid paper? A "** warrior" under the technological monopoly of the United States and Japan, whose cost is only 20 yuan, is sold for 2,800 yuan! This is not only a story about the miracle of polymer technology, but also a shocking revelation about technological monopoly and international inequality.Let's uncover the secrets of this amazing material togetherand how China has found its place in this contest between technology and economy.
Aramid paper, this term may seem a little unfamiliar in daily life, but its use and impact are far beyond our imagination.
As a specialty paper made from high-performance aramid fibers, it is not only five to six times tougher than steel, but also much lighter, making it a truly modern supermaterial.
The advent of aramid, this material, has revolutionized the face of many industries. From military bulletproof to aerospace protection, to fireproof clothing and electrical insulation in daily life, aramid fibers are widely and profoundly used.
However, the manufacturing technology of this material has long been monopolized by the United States and Japan. Since the 60s of the 20th century, enterprises in these two countries have begun to occupy a leading position in the industrialization of aramid fibersAlmost grasp the lifeblood of the global market.
DuPont and Teijin, these two names are almost universally known in the field of aramid paper technology. Not only are they technologically advanced, but they are also rapidly being replaced, making it difficult for other countries to keep up with them.
For China, this technological monopoly poses a huge challenge. In a lot of key areas, inThe country's development has been constrained.
The problem of aramid paper is even more staggering - the cost of only 20 yuan of materials, to the Chinese market but to sell for 2800 yuan, behind this difference, reflects the far-reaching impact of technology monopoly.
Faced with such a situation, China did not choose to give in. On the contrary, through continuous independent research and technological innovation, China has gradually made breakthroughs in the field of aramid paper.
Professor Zhang Meiyun from Shaanxi University of Science and Technology and Professor Hu Jian from South China University of Technology have made particularly outstanding contributions to the field of aramid fiber research.
The team led by them not only overcame many difficulties, but also successfully developed a new generation of aramid paper with superior performance, some of which even surpassed foreign products.
This spirit of independent innovation not only broke the monopoly of foreign companies on aramid paper technology, but also allowed China to gain a firm foothold in this field and become an important player in the global market.
According to the data of the China Chemical Fiber AssociationChina's aramid paper production capacity has exceeded 20,000 tons, and Minshida's production capacity ranks second in the world, demonstrating China's strong strength in this field.
Let us look forward to the future of China to achieve technological independence in more fields and write its own glorious chapter.
