Teijin mass-produces high-strength polyester fibre

摘要

fibre called Nanofront, developed in-house using original nanotechnology.rnNanofront is an ultra-fine fibre that is resistant to slippage, yet delicate and comfortable while ensuring high absorbency and opaqueness. It is expected to be used for a wide range of applications, ranging from clothing to industrial materials.rnThe production of fine but strong fibres has always been the goal of synthetic fibre manufacturers throughout history. Today, increased expectations for nano-sized materials have spurred many firms to actively develop new types of nanofibres. Minimizing the gauge of a fibre will enable new types of functionality in keeping with the 'nano-size effect'. Characteristics such as absorbency, separation, dispersal functioning and large surface area are common to nano-gauge materials.
