Introducing: DuPont (TM) Light Stabilizer 210 Helps Protect Plastics from Sun Damage First Product Developed Using DuPont-Environmental Defense Nano Risk Framework WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 15, 2007 – DuPont today introduced DuPont(TM) Light Stabilizer 210, a product designed as sun protection for plastics. The product uses extremely small particles of titanium dioxide to efficiently absorb ultraviolet light, protecting plastic and anything it covers from the sun’s damaging rays. Because a sizeable percentage of titanium dioxide particles in the product are nanoscale, it was selected as a demonstration case for application of the Nano Risk Framework that DuPont and Environmental Defense introduced in June. The Framework is a systematic and disciplined process to evaluate and address the potential risks of nanoscale materials.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Along with the high expectations, new science creates an interesting and complex mixture of reactions, leading to significant debate about its real implications….
- Our current focus on R&D is the continuation of a long innovation tradition, and a willingness to make new technologies the foundation of discontinuous change in our business portfolios. We are over 200 years young, and over our history, we have repeatedly renewed our technology base as shown in this chart, to stay abreast of changing opportunities and changing needs.
- I won’t go quite as far as the ACS, but it is a fact that science at the nanoscale has a profound connection with most of the building blocks that are at the core of our competencies This chart shows the main building blocks in DuPont’s materials science portfolio. . (Click for animation) If there has been a discontinuity, it is been in our ability to visualize, measure and model materials on the nanoscale. This is an ability we intend to exploit.
- Our success is measured not by the science that we create, but by the value that we generate, and that value is determined by the marketplace. So the innovation challenge for us is to understand the needs that create innovation opportunities for our target applications, and then put our technology tools to work to meet those needs. NS&E in DuPont is therefore not an end in itself, but enriches our toolbox to give us a larger number of solution options.
- What possibilities do we see. As I have said before, the control of nano-scale structure influences many of the critical properties of materials, and is therefore a natural goal for a materials science company. Nanoscale materials, and nanoparticles in particular, have enormous surface areas relative to their volume, and this makes them very effective in applications where surface area is a key parameter. Nature has developed wonderful tools for nanoscale manipulation of materials, and we may be able to use some of these biological tools to develop new materials and devices. And, as mentioned earlier, none of this could be done by design without the powerful new tools that are available to us today. The bottom line is that NS&E is an important knowledge space as we look for new growth opportunities.
- For us to invest in NS&E and to intelligently leverage what we learn, we must find a practical way to subdivide this space into useful domains. This chart shows one way to think of materials and their nanoscale structures. If time permits, I will give you some examples of what DuPont is doing in each of these domains. Starting from the top right and moving counterclockwise: We are working with nanoparticles in applications such as polymer nanocomposites and printable electronics. We are investigating ways to control the nanostructure of bulk materials, to modify their physical properties. We are working on techniques to control nanoscale features on surfaces. We have an interest in thin film technologies that lay down uniform, continuous coatings a few atoms thick. And we have done some early research with devices – particularly sensors – that exploit nanoscale behavior. Each of these is a distinct application of NS&E, with little overlap with the others
- Let’s move on to talk about the internal nanostructure of bulk materials can create innovation possibilities.
- The evolution of nanoscience will obviously continue for some years, as we learn to use the new tools and improve our understanding of nanoscale behavior. This is a chart that we borrowed from Jim Murday of the Naval Research Lab, who many of you may know. The point of this chart is not the accuracy of the timeline, but the recognition that this is a knowledge area where we still have a lot to learn, and where there is considerable scope for progress.
- NS&E is relevant to a very diverse set of opportunities with very different timelines. This chart provided courtesy of Sean Murdoch, Nanobusiness Alliance, give some examples of possible applications in different market sectors. Examples of applications that are being pursed by various businesses in DuPont: Upper right: Platinum catalysts being developed for fuel cells, where catalyst performance is critical to fuel cell economics Bottom right: Field emission displays are the next generation flat panel displays, and we are developing proprietary carbon nanotube materials as the critical element of these displays. Top left: Carbon nanotubes have many interesting properties, including an affinity for DNA. We have used this property to disperse and purify semiconducting CNTs, which will have future utility in sensors. Bottom left; We are doing some exciting research in the area of nanoporous materials, that could for example be used in high performance filters or in chem/bio protection. This image shows one such membrane.
