| Toray, Riken Confirm That Fullerene Doubles Durability of Photocatalytic Coating Agents |
|
|
|
Tokyo, Dec 27, 2005 (JCN) - Toray announced on December 26 that it has developed an innovative technology to improve the durability of photocatalytic coating agents using fullerene, an allotrope of carbon, in collaboration with Riken.
Firstly, Riken's Discovery Research Institute developed the derivatives of fullerene. Then, the two partners developed a method to uniformly disperse and mix the fullerene derivatives with acrylic polymers of photocatalytic coating agents. They have confirmed that the durability of photocatalytic coating agents has been doubled compared to the existing agents by adding the fullerene derivatives.
Further, Toray has confirmed that the new method can be used in the conventional procedures for manufacturing textiles. The company expects that it will lead to a wide range of applications in textile products including clothes, curtains and carpets.
Details of this achievement will be presented at the 30th Fullerene Nanotubes General Symposium to be held in Nagoya from January 7 to 9, 2006.
