Materials and Chemical Industries and Green Manufacturing

NanoMaterials Ltd., formerly ApNano – Active Protection NANOmaterials, is a pioneer of inorganic, multi-layered fullerenes. Founded in 2002, NanoMaterials was the first to succeed in the commercial production of inorganic, multi-layered nanofullerenes and nanotubes.

Based on Weizmann Institute of Science patented platform technology, the company’s WS‚-based nanomaterials opened up new possibilities for developing extreme performance lubricants, coatings and polymer composites. These materials feature outstanding extreme temperature (ET) and extreme pressure (EP) properties.

The main business field of PlasmaChem concerns nano-materials, detonation-, vacuum-, plasma- and ultra-thin film technologies and their biomedical and technical applications.

The main technology points of PlasmaChem concern the development of processes induced by low-temperature plasma on different surfaces and in organized mono-molecular films (Langmuir-Blodgett and Self-Assembly Films), in atomically flat inorganic solids and in liquid interfaces and advanced technologies of synthesis and modification of nano-materials.

C-Voltaics is a nanomanufacturing technology company dedicated to using nanotechnology to provide smarter and more efficient protection to products. We manufacture nano-materials for macro-scale coating applications. The underlying technology was developed from federal, state, and private funds and is exclusively licensed to C-Voltaics by the University of Houston.

Silicon Nano-materials Research & Development for Lighting

Phosphors used in lighting and display solutions are mostly derived from rare-earth elements (REEs), which is an environmental hazard to extract and process. Furthermore, persistently elevated prices since 2010 and IP restrictions on LED applications by major players have driven the lighting industry to seek alternatives for REE-phosphors.

LumiSands offers a cost-effective, non-toxic, and eco-friendly option for REE-phosphors with our patent-pending silicon quantum dot phosphor (SiQD-phosphor) technology.

For Bosch, materials innovation, new process and production techniques and interpretation methodologies are highly relevant for the future. They pave the way for innovative and cost-effective future products. Customised functional and structural materials play a key role in this connection, such as in injection technology, wind power transmissions, composite materials for functional integration in sensors or materials for electric power storage and conversion.

Fibril BNNT™ (Boron Nitride Nanotubes) will be the basis for industry game changing revolutionary new materials and processes.

SiNode is a materials venture based out of Northwestern University that is commercializing a novel silicon based anode technology developed by Professor Harold Kung. The company is currently seeking partnership opportunities with major chemicals manufacturers.

Diamond, nature’s extreme material, is renowned for its incomparable properties such as exceptional hardness, high stiffness, low friction, biocompatibility and outstanding thermal conductivity — just to name a few. For decades designers and engineers have sought to harness the attributes of diamond for a variety of engineering uses, but until now diamond has been notoriously difficult to work with, prohibitively expensive and without a reliable supply.

Powdermet, Inc., located in Euclid, Ohio, is a world leader in the production of nanoengineered metallic composites.

We are committed to maturing and transitioning clean, sustainable, energy and life-saving advanced materials solutions to the marketplace.
