Rubber and resin products manufacturer Nitta has developed patented carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) products for the industrial field using its proprietary CNT composite technology Namd. Since fiscal 2017, Namd has been used in many CFRP products in the sports field, such as tennis rackets and golf club shafts, due to its excellent properties, including vibration damping and speed-dependent relaxation...
Members of the carbon nanotube (CNT) development team at Nitta Corp. (TYO:5186) have received an award for environmental technology from the Kinki Chemical Society. The specific achievement earning the recognition was the team’s success in reducing the weight of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) made from CNT composite carbon fibers. Making CFRP products more lightweight will enable more efficient use...
Nitta Corp. (TYO:5186) has received a favourable reception upon unveiling its compound technology for carbon nanotubes (CNT) at “nano tech 2016”, an international nanotechnology exhibition and conference held in Tokyo end of January. Currently under development by Nitta, this technology bypasses the use of adhesives to thinly and evenly attach CNT to several μｍ in diameter of carbon fiber (CF)...
