A predictable leap forward

2月7日，Just assumed the position of vice minister of industry and Information Technology，Xu Lejiang is in charge of industrial policy and raw material industry，Came to Beijing Sanlihe Road China Building Materials Association research，While pointing out that "actively resolve the contradiction of overcapacity" and "reduce capacity", the key work of the whole industry in recent years，Especially put forward，"Attach great importance to the development of new materials industry"。At this time, from January 23, the National Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance jointly formulated and issued the "New Materials Industry Development Guide" less than a month。

Xu Lejiang pointed out，New material industry development，Target manufacturing and services，Especially high-end equipment manufacturing，Transformation of manufacturing industry，Energy conservation, environmental protection, a new generation of information technology and other strategic emerging industries need to develop，Efforts to promote glass-based materials, advanced ceramics, artificial crystals and other advanced inorganic non-metallic materials，The development of emerging industries such as mineral functional materials and composite materials，Work hard to make up for weaknesses，Accumulate new momentum, cultivate new growth points and inject new vitality for the smooth operation, quality and efficiency improvement and sustainable development of the building materials industry。

Enhance the ability to support key materials，Development and promotion of mineral functional materials，It is an important content in the "Building Materials Industry Development Plan (2016~2020)"，It is also a specific measure to implement the transformation and upgrading tasks deployed in the "Guiding Opinions of The General Office of the State Council on Promoting Stable Growth of the Building Materials Industry, Adjusting Structure and Increasing Efficiency" (State Council [2016] No. 34)。

The capital market shows that since the beginning of the year, the new materials market has been active, a number of listed companies have performed strongly, and the acquisition of enterprises to enter the new materials industry has increased。Many enterprises and investment institutions said that they are optimistic about the development prospects of the new materials industry, and in 2017, various capitals are expected to flood into the new materials industry, and the capital market will help new materials enterprises to grow rapidly and healthily and achieve leapfrog development。

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the development of new materials industry will promote the transformation and upgrading of the building materials industry, which will be of great benefit to solving overcapacity and improving productivity。

Industrialization dawned

For the building materials industry, new materials and green building materials are an important starting point for the building materials industry to promote supply-side structural reform, promote stable growth, adjust structure and increase efficiency。

What is the material?Academician Shi Changxu once pointed out that materials are used to make useful components, devices, and equipment。The difference between materials and matter is that materials emphasize applications - useful substances are called materials。

New materials refer to newly emerged or developing materials with excellent properties and special functions that traditional materials do not have;Or refers to materials on the basis of traditional materials through new technologies (processes, equipment) to obtain significantly improved performance or produce new functions of the material。

New materials is a strategic pilot industry for orderly development, is one of the seven strategic emerging industries in China and one of the ten key areas of "Made in China 2025" development, and is an important basic and leading industry。

In the field of building materials, new materials are related to the quality of building materials manufacturing, and also determine the future development of building materials industry。For a long time, traditional materials have made great contributions to the building materials industry。Its large quantity and wide range, low price, cost-effective, still shows strong vitality, but there are still many problems。

To transform the development, we must pay attention to the research and development, industrialization and application of new materials。As the product of the combination of scientific research and engineering technology, materials from composition design to the formation of industry, is a long process, the need for solidarity and cooperation of relevant personnel, collaborative innovation。How to convert scientific and technological research results into materials and then form an industry is the link that the building materials industry must strengthen。
