WEBINAR RECORDING: Advanced biobased and circular materials adapted for electrospinning: A collaboration between Arkema and Elmarco
Join us for a special edition of Elmarco Talks, featuring our collaborative efforts with Arkema in developing advanced materials tailored for electrospinning applications.
What will be discussed?
Arkema's expertise in amino 11 chemistry spans over 75 years, with flagship products like Rilsan® polyamide 11 and Pebax® Rnew® thermoplastic elastomers renowned for their lightweight, flexible, and durable properties. Derived from renewable castor beans without competing with food sources, these materials uphold sustainability values.
Moreover, Arkema offers recyclable grades and Virtucycle® services, promoting a circular economy. By employing specific solubilization conditions, Rilsan® and Pebax® emerge as promising materials for electrospinning, offering innovative nanofiber solutions.
Elmarco will present performance results using Nanospider technology, showcasing the potential of these materials in electrospinning applications. Join us to explore sustainable innovation in advanced materials for electrospinning.
