The Technological Institute of packaging, transport and logistics (Itene) has traveled this week to Japan of the hand of Fedit to participate in Nanotech 2009, the fair's largest nanotechnology at international level. Itene uses nanotechnology to modify the properties of the material and thus make them 'on demand' with best performance. Among other research, the Institute works in new more resistant biodegradable materials, in the introduction of active substances in containers which prolong the service life of the food, or to get reinforcement antioxidant, antimicrobial or intelligent packaging materials.
Itene researchers present at this event his technological developments in the area of nanotechnology which focus, primarily, to the obtaining of new non-dependent of oil origin renewable and biodegradable materials.
Itene will participate in the 'I-tech partner' Forum on new materials to be held in Valencia in March.
