ANC Multifunctional Coating is a high performance, 100% solid, multifunctional epoxy coating with many uses including the encapsulation of asbestos, marine applications, power generation, gas transmission, and wastewater treatment facilities.
A scientific instrument company formed to supply the carbon nanotube community with unique, specialized optical instrumentation for sample characterization.
Authentication and anti-counterfeit technology.
The Company has researched and patented a novel 3D energy conversion architecture named the DECTM Cell, based on nano-scale porous silicon.
CurTran manufactures LiteWire, carbon nanotube wire conductors as a technology to directly replace copper and other metallic wires.
The company has created precise molecule traps, opening up a new avenue of MOF design. Using a trapping method reminiscent of the biomimetic recognition employed by receptors in nature, single molecule traps were structured to strengthen the interaction with confining material without the permanence of a chemical reaction. framergy provides Metal Organic Frameworks and single molecule traps as a reliable, high-volume, high-quality, low cost product for clean energy and other applications.
Frontier NanoSystems is commercializing an advanced additive, high productivity manufacturing technology that can efficiently produce ultra-high performance materials, including metals/alloys/superalloys, ceramics/electroceramics and semiconductors and integrate them into high-value products with applications in the microelectronics, aerospace, energy, transportation, oil and gas, and other industry sectors.
Developed a non-vacuum nanomaterial-based deposition processes optimized for its proprietary FASST manufacturing technology for thin-film CIGS photovoltaics.
The company was established to develop and commercialize a breakthrough form of modified carbon nanotubes (CNTs), called MOLECULAR REBAR®. The CNTs are disentangled from the usual clumping and individualized through a patent-protected process which enables significantly enhanced performance for a myriad of high-value materials.
The company manufactures a complete line of sputtering systems with reactive sputtering, co-sputtering and combinatorial sputtering, PECVD tools, RIE and Deep RIE systems along with thermal and e-beam evaporators, and single wafer megasonic cleaners.
