Welcome to Nano-C
Nano-C started operations in 2001, and is a leader in the world of nanostructured
carbon materials including fullerenes, nanotubes and their chemical derivatives.
Nano-C's mission is to play a key role in enabling new applications of these materials,
and is committed to their responsible development and use.
As we look at our world, four fundamental forces are driving the demand for all forms of nanostructured carbon:
- Demands for alternatives to oil (solar cells, fuel cells, hydrogen)
- Drive for efficiency (extend end of life, limit use of exotic materials, energy
efficiency)
- Access to clean water and air (catalysis, separation)
- Needs of an aging population (anti-oxidants, radical scavengers, photodynamic therapy)
We offer the potential to create an entirely green energy system: Solar cells and
fuel cells powered by fullerenes and nanotubes produced from bio-fuels. Our single
walled nanotubes are ideal candidates to replace Indium, an increasingly rare material
used in touch screens, LCDs and displays. Our fullerenic materials can be compounded
with polymers to make them more durable and energy efficient and have the potential
to be modified to act as efficient catalysts and filter media. And we are pleased
to say that our well-formulated fullerene derivatives for skin-care are highly-effective
in capturing free radicals before they can damage skin cells. In short, we “make
materials that power our world.”
We invite you to explore the world of these highly advanced materials and the exciting
applications they enable. The opportunity in nanostructured carbon products is anything
but nano.
