For that, the Fibrenamics team has been actively participating in activities that promote this sharing, either as organizers or as participants.

This time, as participants, Fibrenamics presented, between the 20th and 23rd of September in Germany, in the largest international fair of transport technology - InnoTrans, a polymeric compound functionalized with thermochromic pigments that have, as a particularity, the fact that it changes color according to the temperature or electric current to which it is exposed. The innovation behind this technology, engineered by the team at the Fibrenamics Institute, can be applied to a panoply of composite elements and, in turn, allow these same elements to be able to identify different types of substances.
