Nanotailor produces SWNTs without the use of a metal catalyst utilizing a unique patented plasma enhanced CVD process. Thereby reducing post production treatments and keeping the molecules core carbon structure intact.
Advisory Board
Nanotailor has formed a Scientific and Technology Advisory board to provide ancillary insight into scalability, research collaboration, and SWNT applications.
