Richardson, Texas (January 5, 2005)
Zyvex Corporation today announced that it has
expanded its NanoSolve® product line with nine new product
offerings.
The new epoxy concentrates blend several industry-standard
epoxies with multi-wall or single wall nanotubes, or carbon
nanofibers, to deliver significant increases in electrical
and thermal conductivity, as well as improved mechanical strength.
“Our new line of epoxy concentrates can
create composite materials which exploit the intrinsic properties
of carbon nanotubes,” said Zyvex President, Thomas A.
Cellucci, PhD, MBA. “By offering a range of concentrations,
we can provide customers with more flexibility to choose the
amount of CNTs they want in their final product.”
Zyvex’s patented Kentera™ technology
(a non-covalent modification of carbon nanomaterials) exfoliates,
disperses, and adheres to the host material when it is combined
with carbon nanomaterials. This creates a NanoSolve additive
or concentrate — successfully incorporating the
electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties into the host
polymer.
“Our new NanoSolve epoxy concentrates
give composite manufacturers a range of formulation options
to choose from that meet specific material design and price
parameters,” said Robert Folaron, Director of Product
Development at Zyvex. “By leveraging our reliable quality
supply chain, Zyvex is ready to offer these industrial materials
in production quantities.”
The NanoSolve concentrates utilize industry-standard
epoxies as a host material for enhanced polymer concentrates.
This provides a range of formulation options that meet specific
material design and price parameters.
