NANOALLOY® technology is an innovative microstructure control technology developed by Toray that can bring about dramatic improvement in characteristics compared to existing materials by minutely dispersing multiple polymers on a nano-metric scale.
NANOALLOY® is a coined word that combines the word nano, which is a prefix representing one in a billion, with the word alloy, which refers to mixture of metallic elements. NANOALLOY® technology is a special technology that combines multiple polymers on a nano-metric scale (one billionth of a meter) to make the alloy. The technology enables high performance and functionality in polymers which could not be achieved in conventional alloys of micron order (one millionth of a meter), and is a revolutionary technology whose basic patent, core process patents and utility patents are owned by Toray.
*NANOALLOY® is a technology brand that represents Toray’s high technical skills.
(Technology brand denotes a brand that serves as a business source indirectly contributing to a company’s operating revenue by visualizing patent-protected technologies with the brand to improve corporate image of having high technological ability and by differentiating products using such technology.)
