Company Overview

Future of Nanotubes

Nanotailor, Inc. was started based upon the inability of nanotechnology integrators to purchase high quality SWNTs having consistent purity with predictable leadtimes. After surveying the market and working closely with one of our partners, Nanotailor secured licensing rights to a unique patented process from NASA enabling Nanotailor the ability to meet the needs of nanotechnology integrators.

Problem

Solution

 Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have the most preferred mechanical, electrical and other properties of all carbon nanotubes. However, they have historically been extremely difficult to produce and have required a metal catalyst to act as a seed to grow the nanotubes. As a result these metal catalyst leave impurities affecting the integrity and reducing the types of applications capable of taking advantage of the unique and remarkable attributes inherent in SWNT.

By utlizing its trade secrets and patented technology it has licensed from the NASA, Nanotailor is working to provide SWNT having a consistent purity without the adverse side effects of using a metal catalyst. Hereby opening doors for new applications and increasing market wide adoption of SWNT.
