Carbon nanotubes from Nanocomp move closer to commercialization

摘要

Nanocomp Technologies Inc., a Concord, NH-based developer of performance materials and component products from carbon nanotubes (CNTs), has been awarded two new Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts by the U.S. Air Force. The first contract is the next step toward commercialization of lightweight CNT wiring as a replacement for copper in air vehicles; the second is a new project, deemed "critical" by the U.S. Department of Defense, to develop CNT material for electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in aircraft.
