摘要

超材料是由人工结构构成、具有自然材料所不具备的超常性质的人工材料,有望获得与自然物质性质迥异的“新物质”,为诸多应用领域提供了变革性技术支撑;超材料的新原理、新功能实现处于爆发期,相关产业链开始萌生,而产业化、工程化进入瓶颈期,超材料当前所处的特殊阶段恰是国家战略介入的机遇期。本文总结了超材料的概念演进过程,从国际、国内两方面概要梳理了超材料的研究进展及发展趋势,从产业化方向、产业链格局、产业发展策略三方面系统凝练了超材料的产业化进展。进一步辨识了超材料产业发展面临的挑战,突出体现在制备技术、测试与表征技术、工程化技术、产业链、研发人才等方面,从人工智能(AI)技术在超材料设计中的应用、超材料在AI技术演进中的应用两方面展望了AI技术为超材料产业带来的新发展机遇。为此建议,以重点应用需求为牵引进行重大项目布局,建设国家级超材料制备、大数据与设计平台,组建国家级创新联合体并促进跨学科人才培养,在中长期尺度上精准推进我国超材料产业高质量发展。

Abstract

As a class of artificially structured material that exhibits extraordinary properties not available or not easily obtainable in nature, metamaterials provide transformative technologies for many application fields. Now the implementation of new principles and functions regarding metamaterials has entered an explosive period, and the industrial chain has entered a nascent stage; meanwhile, large-scale engineering of metamaterials has entered a bottleneck period. This study summarizes the conceptual evolution process of metamaterials, outlines the research progress and development trends of metamaterials from both international and domestic perspectives, and analyzes the industrialization progress of metamaterials from three aspects: industrialization direction, industrial chain pattern, and industrial development strategy. The challenges of the metamaterial industry, involving preparation technology, testing and characterization technology, engineering technology, industrial chain, and research and development personnel, are highlighted. The new development opportunities brought by AI to the metamaterial industry were discussed from two perspectives: application of artificial intelligence (AI) in metamaterial design and application of metamaterials in the evolution of AI. It is recommended to focus on key application needs for major project layout, establish a national platform for metamaterial preparation, big data, and design, form a national innovation consortium, and promote interdisciplinary talent cultivation, thereby accurately promoting the high-quality development of China's metamaterial industry in the medium and long term.
