日本の繊維産業は、これまで高性能・高機能繊維を中心に素材創製の技術力を中心に展開してきた。一方で、創製した繊維のアプリケーションの視点では必ずしも強みを発揮できていないとの課題も指摘されていた。
今後は、川会の素材創製力の強みを維持しつつ、アプリケーション技術の強化、さらにはユーザー産業との連携による新規用途開発(次世代モビリティ、環境・エネルギー、医療・ヘルスケア等)が重要と考えている。
History of Japanese Chemical Fiber Industry
1st Phase : Creation era (-1950s)
➢Transition from Rayon era to Synthetic Fiber era.➢Commercialization of Big 3 of Synthetic Fiber: Polyester, Nylon, Acrylic
2nd Phase : Growth era (1960s - 1980s)
Technological advancement through the process of polymerization, spinning, weaving, knitting and dyeing.
Development of various types of textiles and applications.
3rd Phase : Mega Competition era (1990s - 2000s)
Practical application of High Performance/Functional fiber developed. Establishment of high level technology of processing.
Ex) Nano-scale processing technology
4th Phase : Re-Expansion era (2010s)
Sophisticated and diversified industry raises the expectation for High Performance/Functional fiber.
Practical applications in wider range and in higher levels are in progress. 24
