Teijin to show latest nanofibres at Nano Tech 2014

Teijin received a Grand Award at nano tech 2013 for its display of high-potential technologies and their wide-ranging applications in life sciences, energy efficiency, air purification, water filtration, energy and apparel. This year, Teijin’s booth (Stand4B-13) will exhibit another wide range of impressive nanotechnologies, including the following:

-Nanofront: An ultra-fine long fiber with an unprecedented diameter of just 700 nanometers for diverse applications including clothing, energy-saving sliding paper-doors, masks, cosmetics and other daily necessities.

-Aramid nanofiber: Highly heat-resistant nonwoven sheet based on Teijinconex.

-Carbon nanotube fiber (under development): 100%-carbon long-filament nanotube combining high thermal and electrical conductivity similar to a metal with the flexibility, ruggedness and strength of a textile fiber, made by stacking and orienting the nanotubes along the fiber axis, followed by wet spinning.

-High-performance membranes: High-precision polyethylene membrane for applications such as micro filters, and multi-layer membrane with wet composite coating for applications such as LIELSORT high-capacity battery separator.

-Carbon nanofiber (under development): Highly conductive carbon nanofiber with the  world’s-first elliptical cross-section consisting of well-developed graphite layers ordered in a single direction, with envisioned uses in lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, as well as capacitors, electrode additives, plastic additives, fuel-cell gas-diffusion layers and plastic-reinforcing materials.

-Silicon ink and paste: Advanced materials expected to be used in printable electronics (semiconductors) to significantly cut the costs of solar cells and displays.
