2017 National Aerogel Material Innovation and Application Symposium was held in Beijing. The event is sponsored by China Green Building Materials Industry Alliance, aiming to promote the application and development of aerogel industry, interpret industrial policies, display industry panorama, and investigate the pain points in the industry.
The relevant personnel of the building materials department of the Ministry of materials of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology(MIIT) said that the factors restricting the large-scale application of aerogels are the price and production process. The next step will encourage scientific research institutions and representative enterprises to carry out the construction of platform for production, and accelerate the application of aerogel application projects. In addition, this year, they will promote the upgrading of the production level of green building materials, release the catalogue and logo of green building materials, accelerate the development of new materials, and promote green manufacturing.
Experts said that aerogels are revolutionary new technologies, and the investment in industry is very high and the market capacity is huge. Among them, the market prospect of aerogel in China is very broad. The aerogel technology level has reached the international leading level, and the country has great support policy for aerogel industry. At present, aerogels are just beginning to enter the stage of large-scale application. It is expected that the aerogel industry will usher in a turning point starting this year.
At the meeting, the aerogel innovation and application promotion center of China Green Building Materials Industry Alliance has issued letters of appointment to many industry experts.
During the seminar, experts and guests from industry and industry research institutes discussed the aerogel materials and applications, the application and industrialization of aerospace aerogels, China's aerogel industrialization technology and development trend, aerogel application case analysis and market development prospects.
Aerogels are the lightest solid materials and the lowest thermal conductivity materials in the physical world. They are widely used in aerospace, energy saving, environmental protection, national defense, military, petrochemical and rail transportation. It is a new material that many countries are competing to invest in research and development.
