It is mainly engaged in the research of three-dimensional fabric weaving technology for high-performance composite materials. Its "31-1, 2 fabric" is one of the most important and key technologies of the four national defense key projects during the eighth Five-year Plan period, and won the second prize of national Science and Technology Progress in 1995 (ranked first). This achievement broke the monopoly of the United States on this technology. Marking China's strategic weapons thermal materials into the world's advanced ranks. The research of JS-Z fabric, a key project of national defense science and technology in the ninth five-year Plan, was awarded the second prize of national technical invention in 1999 (ranked first), which played a very key role in solving the problem of strategic weapons miniaturization in China. His original capping fabric weaving technology was listed as the national "863" new material special. His three-dimensional fabric has not only been applied to the head of space weapons for heat protection, but also extended to the engine, and carried out the technical pre-research on the nose cone cap and leading edge of the space shuttle.
