Baytube Materials® Baytubes®
Micro-universal player with great potential Bayer MaterialScience is one of the top manufacturers of carbon nanotubes
SHANGHAI – Interest in carbon nanotubes is growing worldwide, but only a few leading manufacturers are able to provide quality, commercially available carbon nanotube products. The availability of efficient and renewable products is a prerequisite for tapping the potential of the international market. Bayer MaterialScience recently established a trial production plant with an annual output of 30 tons, and plans to expand production to 60 tons soon, which will make Bayer MaterialScience one of the three major manufacturers of carbon nanotubes. At the same time, they also plan to build a large-scale production plant with an annual output of 3,000 tons. According to market research, the market potential of carbon nanotubes in the next few years will reach several thousand tons per year.
Carbon nanotubes are regarded as one of the main applications of nanotechnology, and its performance and application prospects are very exciting for scientists. Carbon nanotubes have great toughness. When used for mechanical loads, only one-quarter of the carbon nanotubes are five times stronger than steel. Its electrical conductivity is comparable to that of copper. These tiny tubes can be used to make extremely tough plastics – an advantage that can be used in sports equipment and other innovative applications. The ice hockey stick made by Bayer MaterialScience's Baytubes® series (carbon nanotubes) can withstand more than a hundred "hits". Baytubes® can also be used to make rotary shaft blades for wind turbine igniters for longer life and higher efficiency. In the automotive industry, the use of Baytubes® in plastics avoids some costly production steps. In short, the tiny all-rounder (carbon nanotube) has great potential and broad prospects in practical applications.
Nanotechnology is a fast-growing and employment-oriented science. Last year, in Germany alone, more than 50,000 employees of some 550 companies worked in this new 21st century technology field. As a research company, Bayer is able to rapidly develop interdisciplinary technologies. The company uses this technology to improve the performance of its many products in the high-tech materials, health and crop science sectors and to improve the way high-tech materials are produced. Bayer MaterialScience and Bayer Technology Services have created a series of projects as part of the Bayer Nanotechnology Working Group. This has facilitated the development of new ways to synthesize carbon nanotubes, paving the way for a wide range of potential nanomaterials in a wide range of industries. In addition to cost-effective production, it also guarantees a material purity of more than 95%. This has formed a small-scale revolution in the field of nanotechnology.
Martin Schmid, head of Bayer MaterialScience's global Baytubes® business development, explains: “We use polymer awareness to support our customers' integration of Baytubes® into a variety of plastics, such as sports equipment.†At the Paris International Composites Exhibition held from March 3rd to 5th, the world's leading polymer and high-performance plastics manufacturer Bayer MaterialScience and Europe's largest industrial standard carbon nanotube material designer Nanoledge launched two new models Products developed using nanotechnology: surfboards and ferrets. Specialty epoxy resins made with Baytubes® never have the same mechanical and thermal properties in composites. Not only are end products more lightweight, more resistant, and they last longer. “Working with Bayer MaterialScience to develop these products offers Nanoledge a great opportunity. Bayer MaterialScience's Baytubes® has superior technical performance, which greatly enhances the performance of these sporting goods,†said Frank Bennardi, CEO of Nanoledge. . Another "Dream Team" is led by Bayer MaterialScience and Amroy, a technology leader in the advanced epoxy industry. The latest product line, the nanoepoxy technology Hybtonite®, is an extension of Baytubes®'s outstanding performance in the field of welding for many competitors and non-competitors. Hybtonites® can be used in naval, automotive automation, wind energy, and many other industrial applications.
Finnish furniture companies Berner Sports and Exel have used nanotechnology for some time. Berner's "Golden Hammer" baseball bat, refined by Baytubes®, has significant anti-collision properties, as its brand name means. Baytubes® also helps athletes perform well in winter sports. Because of the carbon nanotubes, Exel's "nanotechnology" skis are 30% stronger than traditional skis, but the weight is 6% lighter. Exel is now planning to apply nanotechnology to some less common sports. "Folly Ball" is a recent creepy game that has been around for hundreds of years. Fule Ball is a fast-growing sport in Europe and this one-of-a-kind sport is now conquering Germany. As this high-speed sport requires powerful, lightweight and labor-saving equipment, Exel plans to introduce a number of new technology bats into the market this fall. Therefore, Baytubes® guarantees better athletic performance.
Despite the advantages of using nanomaterials, Bayer is fully aware of safety control – the responsibility of innovative technologies in the 21st century. Jacques Ragot, product manager for nanomaterials, said: "The growing use of nanomaterials is closely related to the level of social acceptance of this technology." He explained Bayer's activities in this area. It is critical to establish a widely accepted measurement and testing program for nanomaterial safety assessments. Bayer has long been engaged in safety research in this field. As a founding member of the International Association of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology (DECHEMA), Bayer has made a positive contribution. The organization's mission is: "Reliable nanotechnology products and applications." Bayer participated in a project supported by a public fund and produced a basic understanding of the field.
At the national level, Bayer AG, based in Leverkusen, joins the current “NanoCare†and “TRACER†programs. Both programs are sponsored by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the “Industrial and Social Material Innovation†program and the Nanomaterials Safety Affairs Activity Center. Ragot said: "And, our Baytubes®. is implementing a product management program. As part of this program, we are testing the efficacy of our products and making a significant contribution to further developing the test methods needed to ensure product safety. We can make sense Major toxicological studies and use of research results to estimate the impact of products on humans and the environment."
