Fujitsu Develops Plant Plastic with Higher Impact-Resistance.Tokyo, Japan, May 19, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Fujitsu has developed a plant plastic with higher impact-resistance in collaboration with Fujitsu Laboratories and Toray Industries. The new material, which has a refined microstructure mi·cro·struc·ture n. The structure of an organism or object as revealed through microscopic examination. microstructure Noun a structure on a microscopic scale, such as that of a metal or a cell , helps increase the impact-resistance by 50% while maintaining the heat-resistance and formability at about the same level as conventional plant plastics. Specifically, the three partners have achieved these capabilities by improving the compatibility of polylactic acid made mainly of corn with polymer-alloy polycarbonate A category of plastic materials used to make a myriad of products, including CDs and CD-ROMs. . Using the new material, Fujitsu has prototyped a mobile phone chassis for the FOMA See i-Mode. F901iS handset. The prototype will be exhibited at Fujitsu Forum 2006 to be held on May 18 and 19.
