  1. Teijin Aramid An introduction to aramids and aramid R&D René Verhoef October 23, 2018

  2. What is aramid? Aramid fibers are man-made high-performance fibers, with molecules that are characterized by relatively rigid polymer chains. These molecules are linked by strong hydrogen bonds that transfer mechanical stress very efficiently, making it possible to use chains of relatively low molecular weight.

  3. Teijin Aramid in short

  5. Teijin Aramid product portfolio Para aramid Meta aramid • Twaron • Technora • Teijinconex Polyethylene • Endumax co-poly- (paraphenylene/3,4’-oxydiphenylene terephthalamide) polyparaphenyleneterephthalamide poly- (metaphenyleneisophthalamide)

  6. Different types to fit application requirements Filament Yarn Staple Fiber Pulp Paper Powder Short-Cut Fiber Tape Fabrics & Laminates Jet-Spun Products

  7. Applications Soft ballistics Reinforced thermoplastic pipes Friction products Specialty paper Flexible flowlines and umbilicals Tires Helmets Optical fiber cables Elastomer reinforcements Hard ballistics Heat- and flame-resistant garments Cut-protection products Conveyor belts Engineering plastics Civil engineering products Ropes and cables Sealing materials Composites

  8. Our Twaron production process

  9. Research & Development Research & Development is at the heart of everything we do as a company.We believe that the best solutions are developed through cooperation with our customers. 5% of our turnover is invested in R&D.

  13. My role in R&D Expertise – molecular spectroscopy: NMR and spectroscopic methods for process monitoring (NIR and PLS regression..) Member of the analytical chemistry lab equipped with: HPLC, GC, MS, NMR, XRF, ICP-OES, SEM, FTIR, FTNIR… Program manager R&D program ballistics Project manager2 development project

  14. Previous work involving First-Principles modeling State of the art NMR techniques in combination with first-principles modeling. Calculated NMR chemical shifts provide a more accurate description of the distribution of crystal packing's in aramids

  15. Where QM-FORMa could be of help? • Molecular level Insight in structure formation during spinning to provide tools to influence: • Process stability • Yarn properties • Yarn with tailored properties • Yarn aging Structure formation Coagulation in H2O Properties of final yarn

  16. Thanks for your attention
