SRI International Licenses High-Performance Polymer Technology to Asahi Kasei Fibers.MENLO PARK Menlo Park. 1 Residential city (1990 pop. 28,040), San Mateo co., W Calif.; inc. 1874. Electronic equipment and aerospace products are manufactured in the city. Menlo College and a Stanford Univ. research institute are there. 2 Uninc. , Calif. -- SRI International (company) SRI International - One of the world's largest contract research firms. Founded in 1946 in conjuction with Stanford University as the Stanford Research Institute, they later became fully independent and were incorporated as a non-profit organisation under U.S. , an independent nonprofit research and development organization, today announced that Asahi Kasei Fibers Corporation, a core operating company operating company A business that engages in transactions with outsiders. of the Asahi Kasei Group, has licensed use of SRI's patented aliphatic aliphatic /al·i·phat·ic/ (al?i-fat´ik) pertaining to any member of one of the two major groups of organic compounds, those with a straight or branched chain structure. al·i·phat·ic adj. polyketone polymer technology. Asahi Kasei Fibers intends to use SRI's polymer technology in the development of high-performance fiber products. SRI's high-performance polymer technology has superior strength and resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, fuels, liquids and organic solvents. The technology, formerly branded as Carilon, was originally developed by Shell Oil Company and is now available for license exclusively from SRI. Designed for the engineering thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene. and fiber markets, its performance characteristics are maintained even at high temperatures. The polymers are ideal for use in a wide variety of products, including automotive parts, electrical and electronic systems, consumer appliances, film, fiber and protective coatings. "We are pleased to work with Asahi Kasei Fibers, an industry leader in high-quality materials for apparel and industrial applications, to strengthen the company's range of product," said Osamu Karatsu, executive director, SRI International Japan. "SRI's polymer technology is a valuable resource to clients looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. exceptional wear resistance and strength." SRI has extensive experience in the advancement of polymer products and applications for many types of industries. Its aliphatic polyketone polymer technology represents the next generation of high-performance polymer materials.
