International. Bayer MaterialScience said it will discontinue its nano projects. Now the company intends to focus its development activities on topics that are closely linked to its core business.
They also reported that they will determine how they will use research results and know-how for the production and application of carbon nanotubes (CNT).
Bayer MaterialScience researchers had collaborated with external partners in recent years to solve complex problems related to safety in the production of specific carbon nanotubes.
Much of the knowledge acquired in recent years was made available by Bayer to other companies and research institutions within the Carbon Nanotube Innovation Alliance, which counts Bayer MaterialScience among its nearly 90 members.
The completion of the nano projects has no impact on the company's workforce, as all 30 people employed in that sector will be transferred to other positions within the Group.
