DETAILS
(President: Kimiaki Tanaka)
held a ceremony on November 11
at its new carbon nanotubes manufacturing plant
to mark the completion of the facility,
constructed inside its Tokuyama Plant
(Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan).
This latest plant will produce
single-walled carbon nanotubes
that demonstrate unique properties, including
a high aspect ratio, high purity and highly specific surface area,
and they hold promise for applications such as
new specialty materials with non-conventional functionality
and characteristics, and next-generation devices.
The NEDO project has already devised potential ways
of incorporating carbon nanotubes
into innovative materials and devices such as
* high-performance capacitors,
* highly functional rubber materials and
* materials with high thermal conductivity,
and demand for these products is expected to grow.
After conducting test runs, we plan to commence mass production
in the second half of fiscal 2015.
Prior to the completion of the manufacturing plant,
Zeon Nano Technology Co., Ltd.
was established in June
to process and sell carbon nanotubes and related products,
and operations at this facility have commenced.
