China´s domestic R&D of hi-tech fiber such as carbon fiber, high-temperature resistant aramid 1313, 1314, UHMWPE fiber, PPS, polyimide fiber, basalt fiber and PSA are beginning to boom in recent years. Equipments relative to this field, however, rely largely on importation from western developed countries. Reinforcing the development of hi-tech fiber processing machinery for the next five years would be a new growth pole for China textile industry.
