The 9th annual “nano tech International Nanotechnology Exhibition and Conference 2010” was held as the world’s largest nanotechnology event. It highlighted cutting-edge advances in nanotechnology and related products from the global market.
nano tech 2010 continuously focused on environmental nanotechnology under the theme of “Green Nanotechnology - Sustainability with every nano meter”. Nanotechnology is believed to serve as a fundamental technology to meet the demands for reducing global environmental impact and CO2 emissions.
In 2010, the event drew attention from the visitors for presenting a wide range of environmental technologies such as next generation secondary batteries for automotive applications, LED, smart grid based new energy technology, and soil/water purification systems.
Also related to the environment field and influenced by raised concerns about safe water supply at a global level, we launched Japan’s first water related international exhibition, “InterAqua - International Water Solution Exhibition”. Staging Inter Aqua concurrently with nano tech created great chances for business matching, since nanotechnology provides also various solutions for water treatment.
Along with environmental related technologies and products, nano tech helped matching the technology- “seeds” in the research and development field - with the market needs.
By this means, the fair contributed to the increase of business interactions.
nano tech 2010 was hosted concurrently with five other exhibitions: Nano Bio 2010, nano&neo functional material 2010, ASTEC2010, METEC’10, and the above mentioned InterAqua - International Water Solution Exhibition.

Nano-fabrication Technology
Elionix Co., Ltd.
|
| Through the realization of a 125kV high acceleration voltage, Elionix Co., Ltd., has been able tocreate a ground-breaking ultra-high precision electron beam lithography system, which hasreduced the minimum diameter of the smallest electron beam from 5nm to 1.7nm, and broughtdown minimum line width from 10nm to 5nm. |
|
Evaluation and Measurement
Nikkiso Co., Ltd.
|
| The laser diffraction and light scattering particle analyzer BlueRaytrac responds to R&D andquality control needs in the nanotechnology sector. It features three BlueRay lasers and hasgreatly improved resolution capabilities in the nano and sub-micron fields. |
|
Green Nanotechnology
Toray Industries Inc.
|
| Toray Industries has been instrumental in establishing truly innovative technologies thatcontribute to the field of green nanotechnology. These achievements include development of highperformance reverse osmosis membranes for desalination and effluent processing, weightreduction and improvement of fuel efficiency through the development of carbon fiber compositematerials, and energy conservation through the development of unique heat insulation sheets(wall materials). |
