Vietnam-Japan cooperation in rubber processing

On the occasion of the visit and working in Vietnam , on January 9, Japan's Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Masaharu Nakagawa visited the Vietnam Rubber Research Institute, the unit. Research on the project 'Creating carbon ring with natural rubber' in SATREPS program.

This is an international research project conducted by leading scientists of Nagaoka University of Technology in collaboration with Hanoi University of Technology and Vietnam Rubber Research Institute, with the aim of creating set up a modern system of natural rubber production and the latest rubber quality evaluation system.

According to Professor Fukuda, of Nagaoka University of Technology, the project "Creating a carbon ring system with natural rubber" will develop methods of separating and extracting natural rubber materials and manufacturing high-quality materials. polymer element, to replace synthetic rubber with natural rubber material is a renewable source of materials.

The project also intends to implement other research activities such as the development of rubber industry wastewater treatment technology, methane recovery (CH ₄ ) and the production of biofuel from waste rubber wood. revoke. With these new technologies, the project will contribute to reducing global warming and addressing environmental issues such as water pollution.
