For the last couple of days, there came a lot of news from CES held in Las Vegas. Especially, at a time how Japanese electronic electronic maker can regain its momentum is the big concern for many Japanese, it makes quite sense that what maker announced what new product gets attention from numerous people.
But today's my post is far different from those new gadget things.
Again, it's a creature related story, which is about Euglena, microorganism that are found in fresh water near you, such as ponds, or stream etc. It makes the coloer of water looks green when the number of Euglena increases.
Then, The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and NEC announced that they could successfully created plastic made of Euglena, with adding extractive from cashew nut.
The plastic made of Euglena has a good thermal plasticity and heat resistance.
Plastic is generally made of petroleum oil, so it is limited resource.
When this new technology becomes available for commercial use, because Euglena is so easy to increase, plastic can be more easy and cheap to be created, and most importantly, it is going to be eco-friendly.
