  • Description: "Composite materials are the way of the future," he states. "This includes nano-composites - composed of fibre, minerals, silica sols, starches, resins, and more - designed to achieve desired results in a more efficient way. Some innovations will require radical change, and others will require modest adjustments for very big results. So what are we waiting for?" "Anything that enhances formation will improve the uniformity of the sheet," he continues. "For example, our printers will see better-looking prints because the sheet is more uniform in appearance. Strength is also more uniform, which leads to better runnability on our paper machines and in our customer's pressroom. Better uniformity also allows lighter basis weights of paper, which create savings in postage costs for our customers." "Nanotechnology bridges a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines and cuts across many industrial sectors. The growing interest in nanotechnology is a consequence of the promise this science holds to create new materials for a wide variety of manufactured goods," states Pierre Lapointe, president and CEO, [FPInnovations]. "Nanotechnology is expected to represent a dominant force in economic growth over the next few decades and has been identified as a strategic platform for development. ArboraNano will build on this strategic platform and apply Canada's forest resource to create new unique opportunities for Canadian manufacturing industries."
