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.The -C is for Carbon
Four fundamental challenges are shaping the world we live in:- Demands for alternatives to oil (energy security, global warming)
- Drive for efficiency (extend end of life, limit use of exotic materials, energy efficiency)
- Access to clean water and air (groundwater, desalination)
- Needs of an aging population (health care and advanced therapeutics)
Nano-C manufactures a new class of carbon materials that will have a greater and more profound effect than existing forms of carbon in shaping solutions to these four challenges. These materials include fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and their chemical derivatives. Our innovations are derived from our competency in the chemistry of these new forms of carbon, enabling our customers to:
- develop low-cost solar cells
- shrink the size of next generation semiconductors
- create low-cost organic electronic and medical devices
- make flash memory more energy efficient
- develop lighter weight/lower cost fuel cells for transportation
- provide heavy-metal free electrodes for displays and solar cells
- create water filters that won’t foul
- make batteries that can be printed
- capture free radicals before they can damage skin cells
