Zyvex Processed Nanotubes remove the “processing bottleneck” for carbon nanotubes — enabling a wealth of new applications. Our patent-pending technology disperses and suspends carbon nanotubes in common solvents with unsurpassed concentration and dispersion.

The Zyvex functionalization process consists of combining the solvent, nanotubes, and solvating agent together. This disperses the tubes and creates a first generation, functionalized nanotube solution. We then remove the solvent, leaving a dry film.

Resolubilization
Zyvex customers can now easily resolubilize the film with their choice of a compatible solvent by simply sonicating for 30 minutes to restore the solution.
