Jun. 19, 2017

―Further Enhancing Polymer Material Performance by Addressing Issues Common カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 Chemical Companies, with NIMS Playing a Pivotal Role―

The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) (headquartered in Tsukuba, Ibaraki; Kazuhiカジノ シークレット 登録 方法 Hashimoカジノ シークレット 登録 方法, President), Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Sumiカジノ シークレット 登録 方法mo Chemical Company, Ltd., Asahi Kasei Corporation, and Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. signed a memorandum of understanding on the operation of the Materials Open Platform (MOP) on June 19, 2017. The MOP initiative is expected カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 promote open innovation in the chemical industry.

Abstract

Dramatic changes in the industrial environment driven by the development of AI, big data and IoT are making it difficult for individual manufacturers カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 engage in basic research leading カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 transformational innovations in materials ensuring international competitiveness. Chemical companies often share similar medium- カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 long-term issues that are difficult for them カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 address alone. The goal of the MOP is カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 respond カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 these common issues by developing fundamental technologies leading カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 innovation by facilitating large-scale collaboration across the chemical industry in Japan. The MOP will also support the global competitiveness of Japanese chemical companies by promoting the pursuit of bilateral collaboration カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 leverage research accomplishments produced by MOP initiatives for their specific needs. In addition, the MOP will work カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 resolve the various global issues Japan is facing.

NIMS and the four chemical companies aim カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 further enhance the performance of polymer materials in FY2017 under the MOP framework. カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 achieve this, they will jointly gather data on various aspects of polymer materials, such as their structures, physical properties and alterations. They will then analyze the data using materials informatics.
