Development of New Functional Materials based on Polyamides

Polyamides have been widely used in the various industrial fields on account of their excellent properties. Especially the largest market with more than 40% of the total demand is in automobiles and transportation equipment. In this lecture, we would like to introduce several new functional materials (new polyamide elastomer UBESTA XPA, UBESTA gas pipe system and new polyamide terpolymer TERPALEX) based on polyamides developed by UBE. Here UBESTA is the trademark for UBE's polyamide12.
