Examining the mystery of polymer membranes and using tiny holes in PET bottles

【Supercategory:1. Fiber/polymer materials Category:1.2 Synthetic fiber/polymer materials Subcategory:1.2.1 Petroleum derived fiber/polymer materials

写真
Synthetic resin polymer membranes, of which PET bottles are a leading example, have extremely tiny pores that allow gases to pass through them but not liquids. I am working to develop a barrier material for electronic materials that will make them 1 million times less permeable to gases. This area of research is currently garnering attention.
