At the same time, between the members of the carbon fiber industry alliance to strengthen communication and cooperation, to break the shackles of institutional mechanisms, deepening civil military integration, and guide the advantages of private enterprises to enter the field of military research and production.
Point of view: stimulating the development of carbon fiber industry is carbon fiber production enterprises, but the carbon fiber industry downstream products of carbon fiber production enterprises. The largest is the purpose of the application, starting from the application, can be what kind of feedback to the carbon fiber carbon fiber production enterprises are urgent. In the past few years that we have been using carbon fiber in Japanese enterprises as the standard to our study of carbon fiber, no one thought of why we do T300, why the development of T700 T800., the future of carbon fiber breakthrough from first to break the old system, open innovation system. We should establish the carbon fiber industry standard is suitable for the development of China, even if the carbon fiber Japan's sales in China have to follow our standard parameters for establishment of standard. So it needs to be divided according to the demand of carbon fiber, so the need for downstream products enterprises involved.

At the National Center for auto detection, with rollover instrument continues to tilt, marked "pillars" in Yantai Development Zone on the bus finally "crashing" into a nearly 1 meter deep pit test. "Rollover 48 degrees, the whole body no obvious damage deformation, meet and exceed the national standard detection. The detection results by on the scene a cheer - which marks the successful development of the first domestic carbon fiber composite material made by civilian bus body, it also means a" Yantai Development Zone to build high-tech products become the domestic industry "NO.1".
Point of view: the same is a carbon fiber application case, the face of the deteriorating environment, what we can do is to upgrade the bold reform, technology of the utility model. Sugelawei love carbon fibers have an important reason is that in a variety of fields of carbon fiber can be a very good use, the use of even irreplaceable sure. With the understanding of the carbon fiber industry, more can be used in the automotive field. Carbon fiber, carbon fiber is more reflected in the appearance, this is just floating on the surface of carbon fiber applications. Features of light weight and high strength is no better. If we play on carbon fiber composite material the structure design and process design can grasp better, believe that the application of scene much more carbon fiber.
