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.
Nanotechnology 101
Nanotechnology is a field based on size, a nanometer. The scale of nanotechnology specifically is between 100 and 1 nanometer. A nanometer is 1 one-billionth of a meter. As an example, the diameter of a human hair is approximately 50 microns which is 50,000 nanometers. At this scale, materials begin to no longer follow the classical rules of science and begin to follow quantum science.
The science of developing materials at the atomic and molecular level in order to imbue them with special electrical and chemical properties. Nanotechnology, which deals with devices typically less than 100 nanometers in size, is making a significant contribution to the fields of computer storage, semiconductors, biotechnology, manufacturing and energy.
In the future, amazing nanotech-based products are expected, including extraordinarily tiny computers that are very powerful, building materials that withstand earthquakes, advanced systems for drug delivery and custom tailored pharmaceuticals as well as the elimination of invasive surgery, because repairs can be made from within the body.
