| Foreign Makers to Launch Carbon Nanotube Businesses in Succession | |
| Posted by Jonathan Després on Wednesday October 17, @09:53AM October 16, 2001 (TOKYO) -- Many carbon nanotube makers from Japan, France, China, and Cyprus exhibited at the "Tsukuba Symposium on Carbon Nanotube in Commemoration of the 10th Anniversary of its Discovery," held on Oct. 3-5, in Tsukuba, Ibaragi Prefecture. The research and development of nanotechnology using the carbon nanotubes seems to be very vigorous in many countries. Nanoledge Corp. of France was established this March. Sylvain Hoebanx, CEO of Nanoledge, said, "Currently, Nanoledge is operated by four full-time members and five supporters, including investors and others. We expect to seek clients in Japan through this exhibition and expand our nanotechnology business."  China's
Nafine Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. was established in 1997,
in Beijing. Vice Chief Engineer of Nafine Chemical, Yuanyang Wang
said, "It's the first time we are showing our products in Japan.
We are looking forward to finding Japanese clients." (photo)"Nafine Chemical is a Chinese venture business founded based on the technologies of Tsinghua University. The nanotechnology is currently the most attractive field in China," said Wei Fei, visiting professor in the chemical engineering department at Tsinghua University.  The
carbon nanotube maker in Cyprus in the Mediterranean, Rosseter Holdings
Ltd., started its operations in 2001. "Rosseter Holdings was
established in 1998. This year, along with the start of operations,
we planned to visit Japan and show our carbon nanotube products.
We are now ready to offer more than four products such as single-layer-nanotubes,
multi-layer-nanotubes, and others," said Maria Xenophontos-loannou,
managing director of Rosseter Holdings. (photo)In Japan, it is generally thought that nanotechnology-related research and development is actively carried out mainly in Japan and America. In fact, various kinds of carbon nanotube application businesses have been launched in many countries. According to Nyan-Hwa Tai, a professor of in the materials science and engineering department at Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, and who participated in the symposium, "It is not too much to say that there is no science and technological college without nanotechnology-related research among all the universities in Taiwan. Nanotechnology research and development is the most attractive field in Taiwan. Especially, the research and development of carbon nanotube applications has become vigorous. In this connection, our research and development projects have been related to the cathode materials for the field emission display." (Nikkei Nanotechnology) |
