Point of the Proposed Technology
・It is possible to develop the composite materials of light weight and low load for environment by mixing Biomass Nano-fiber instead of onventional carbon and glass fiber.
Effect(s)
・Environmental load:dependence on the mixed quantity
・Tensile strength：mixed into PVA, increase more than twofold.
・Tensile strength：mixed into PVA, increase more than twofold.
Conventional Technology
Example of application
・It is difficult to recycle and dispose CFRP and GFRP, so that environment burden is high, and replacement of the carbon and glass fiber are required .
・It is difficult to recycle and dispose CFRP and GFRP, so that environment burden is high, and replacement of the carbon and glass fiber are required .
New Technology
・It enables to mix with generic hydrophilic resin and it can maintain smoothness.
・The tensile strength can be improved without losing transparency by adding to PVA (polyvinyl alcohol).
