MITSUBISHI MATERIALS: Developed new material “Metallic rubber”:
-Launched in 2023-
Mitsubishi Materials:
The new material “metal rubber” developed using biomimetics will be launched in 2023.
New material “metal rubber”:
The surface has the same flexibility as rubber while maintaining the heat resistance of metal.
Supply sample products:
We are supplying sample products to related companies and research institutes such as aerospace and semiconductors.
Through these collaborations, we will verify the characteristics of the materials and identify issues related to commercialization.
Characteristics of metallic rubber:
Metallic rubber is the main development product that Mitsubishi Materials aims to commercialize.
The material is metal and is not crossed with rubber.
The metal surface has an uneven structure and shape.
Gives rubber characteristics such as flexibility and adhesiveness.
Developed by Central Research Institute:In addition, heat resistance corresponding to 600 degrees C or higher,
Cleanliness with less emitted gas, etc.
It is compatible with the goodness of metal.
Surface high-performance technology developed by the Central Research Laboratory.About the gecko:
I was inspired by the fine fibers in the soles of the geckos.
About 600,000 bristles grow on the soles of the feet.
Intramolecular attractive force is generated on the contact surface,
Repeats adhesion and peeling.
Mitsubishi Materials:For nano-level structural analysis using an electron microscope and special film formation / processing on metals.
Succeeded in obtaining a fine structure.
