Teijin to show off new products at Nano Tech 2015

26/01/2015
High-performance fibre manufacturer Teijin will have a number of new products on show at the 2015 International Nanotechnology Exhibition and Conference (Nano Tech 2015) in Tokyo, January 28-30.

These products will include Nanofront, an ultra-fine polyester fibre with a diameter of just 700 nanometres featuring high levels of heat and light shielding among its properties. Teijin said in the build-up to the event that its customers will be able to use Nanofront in clothing.

At the same time, it will present a 100%-carbon nanotube continuous yarn, offering high electrical and thermal conductivity but also the flexibility, robust handling and strength of a textile fibre, making it suitable for smart garments, Teijin said.
