从20世纪50年代起，美国为确保其军事、尖端科学和支柱产业在全球的领先地位，一直鼓励美国的研究机构和生产企业大力开发高性能纤维，例如美国杜邦公司、塞拉尼斯-赫斯特、壳牌化工等，并将其作为重要的技术支撑严格掌控。2000年以来，日本靠不断壮大、具有世界领先水平的高性能纤维产业，将美国新开发的高性能纤维在日本实现了产业化，例如PBO纤维等，并兼并国外优势品种的事业部，使日本的弱势品种迅速提升到世界先进水平，从而确立了现今在世界高性能纤维领域的领先地位。
From 1950s onwards, the United States to ensure its military, cutting-edge science and pillar industry leading position in the world, has been encouraging U.S. research institutions and production enterprises to vigorously develop the high performance fibers, such as the United States DuPont Co, Serra nice - Hearst, Shell chemical, and as an important technical support of strict control. Since 2000, the Japanese rely on high performance fiber industry continues to grow, with the world leading level, the new high performance fiber development in the United States in Japan to achieve industrialization, such as PBO fiber, and the advantages of foreign mergers and varieties division, make Japan's weak variety quickly up to the advanced level in the world, which established today in the world leading position in the field of high performance fiber.
聚酯系列
Polyester series
所谓聚酯系列的高性能纤维是具有相对特殊的物理化学结构、性能和用途，或具有特殊功能的聚酯纤维。聚酯系列高性能纤维主要体现在耐强腐蚀、低磨损、耐高温、耐辐射、阻燃、抗燃、耐高电压、高强度高模量、高弹性、反渗透、高效过滤、吸附、离子交换、导光、导电以及多种医学功能。这些纤维大都应用于工业、国防、医疗、环境保护和尖端科学各方面。
The so-called polyester series of high performance fiber is a relatively special physical and chemical structure, performance and use, or special function of polyester fiber. A series of polyester fiber with high performance is mainly reflected in the strong corrosion resistance, low wear, high temperature resistance, radiation resistance, flame retardant, fire resistant, high voltage, high strength and high modulus, high elasticity, reverse osmosis, filtration, adsorption, ion exchange, light guide, and a variety of conductive medical function. Most of these fibers are used in industry, national defense, medical treatment, environmental protection and advanced science.
