Contribution on mass production technology for nanofibers

Professor Tanioka, a current officer of our company and an emeritus professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology, contributed an article on mass production technology of nanofiber in “Nanotech Japan (Nanotech Japan Bulletin)”, which introduces the research results and activities of research institutes approved by  “Nanotechnology Platform Japan” of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology(MEXT). 

The Nanotech Japan (NanotechJapan Bulletin) is a WEB magazine that publishes review articles that overviews research and corporate trends in Japan as a whole.
