Going forward, the two companies aim to establish technology to mass produce the fabric for commercial use in firefighting suits as soon as possible. Meanwhile, they are attempting to knead different nanoparticles into aramid fiber to realize new or enhanced properties, such as electric conductivity and electromagnetic wave shielding, without impairing the intrinsic properties of aramid fiber. In addition, it should be possible to improve combustion resistance and reduce heat shrinkage by adding nanoparticles of titania and silica inorganic compounds. A variety of applications are expected to be found for advanced materials made of these new nanostructure fibers, especially applications in which organic materials cannot be used.
