From April 17 to 18, the Founding Conference of China Aerospace Advanced Materials Innovation Alliance and the Founding Conference of CSTM Aerospace Materials Standardization Committee were held, sponsored by the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group and sponsored by the Aerospace Material Support Department of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group and Qian Xuesen Space Technology Laboratory. Fourteen academicians and experts and more than 80 experts from first-class universities and research institutes in China were invited to participate in the conference to seek common development plans and jointly promote the prosperity and development of China's space industry.
At the meeting, Peng Shou, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, chief engineer of China Building Materials Group and director of the National Center for Innovation of New Glass Materials, was invited to attend and give a keynote report on Innovation and Application of Advanced Glass Materials. The development trend and importance of advanced glass materials are described from three aspects: innovation and development of advanced glass materials, frontiers and trends of advanced glass materials, and advanced glass materials and aerospace.
Peng Shou said that China Building Materials Group has been actively carrying out the mission of "materials create a better world" for many years, insisting on promoting scientific and technological innovation of materials, and has made major breakthroughs in the fields of carbon fiber composites, advanced glass materials, fiber composites and high-end membrane materials, thus ensuring the development of strategic emerging industries and major projects in China. Especially for the development of aerospace industry, it provides key material support for major aerospace projects in China.
Peng Shou believes that as one of the important directions for the development of the new material industry of China Building Materials Group, the innovative development of advanced glass materials can be summarized in three sentences.
First, the past "glass" is still "glass", as an ancient and modern material, glass has always been accompanied by the development of human civilization, but the traditional glass still maintains a relatively single component system, a single ontological function, a single application field, and there is no transformational innovation;
Second, the current "glass" is not only "glass", with the systematic innovation of materials, advanced glass materials have formed a systematic glass composition, composite material properties and diversified service scenarios, and become an important basic material to support the development of a number of strategic industries;
Third, whether the future "glass" is still "glass", along with the accelerated integration of new theories, new technologies and new systems, advanced glass materials usher in the "three new" strategic opportunities, constantly showing the "three modernizations" development trend of reconstruction, functionalization and digitalization. Advanced glass materials will also usher in the "composite future", "intelligent future" and "extreme future".
Peng Shou pointed out that as a typical scenario of extreme service, "space application" will provide "more space" for advanced glass materials, and advanced glass materials will also provide important material support for the development of space science and technology.
In space research , glass, as the carrier of space resources, provides guarantee for the utilization of space resources, and at the same time, relying on the stability characteristics of glass, provides potential resource reference for space research on the moon and Mars; In the aspect of space manufacturing, material space manufacturing technology will become a strategic key technology to explore the unknown mechanism of materials, realize the utilization of extraterrestrial resources, and expand the ability of human beings to survive and move outside the earth, and can be used to prepare space glass energy materials in specific environments such as microgravity field and high vacuum.
In space applications , advanced glass materials have become one of the indispensable functional materials in the space material system, and the application scenarios of materials are constantly expanding to aircraft, aerospace equipment, space stations, communication satellites and other fields. Faced with new challenges, new goals and new requirements, advanced glass materials will focus on strengthening the interdisciplinary, material integration, field synergy and scene innovation, so that glass can provide an engine for the development of China's aerospace science and technology. The main purpose of the establishment of
China Aerospace Advanced Materials Innovation Alliance is to promote the rapid development of advanced aerospace materials, build a national strategic scientific and technological force for advanced aerospace materials, and support the construction of a powerful aerospace country, based on demand, scientific research and application.
