Poor dispersion
Agglomerates and local concentration variation can create inconsistent conductivity, weak spots, processing instability, and qualification risk.
Nanocarbon platform
Discrete CNT technology.
The discrete CNT platform focuses on the interface between nanotube surface chemistry and the host matrix. By reducing bundled CNT behavior and matching functional groups to the target material system, Elect Nano can pursue more consistent electrical, electrostatic, RF, optical, and mechanical response in final parts or coatings.
Interactive process
Clean, debundle, functionalize.
Use the stage controls to step through Elect Nano discretization. The nanotube field shifts from bundled starting material toward separated, functionalized dCNTs ready for material integration.
Stage 01 / Clean
Clean CNT surfaces
Catalysts and other impurities are washed from raw CNT feedstocks, leaving pristine, ultra-pure CNTs.
Functionalization chemistry
Chemistry links dCNT surfaces to material systems.
Hover or click a node to isolate the connections between material families, matrix targets, functional groups, reaction families, and terminal surface groups.

Poor dispersion
Improved dispersion
Improved dispersion
A cleaner dispersion field supports more uniform property response across the material, part, coating, or sample geometry.
Application fit
Where discrete CNTs belong in the material stack.
These are starting points for technical conversations. Exact material selection depends on geometry, processing route, target properties, qualification requirements, and scale.
Injection molding compounds
Discrete CNTs support Elect Nano ESD and EMI compound development across COC, MPPO, LCP, PPSU, TPU, TPC, and silicone platforms where molded parts need controlled resistance, shielding, RF loss, or optical response.
dCNT masterbatches
Carrier-matched dCNT masterbatches give compounding teams a concentrated route into engineering thermoplastics and elastomers without starting from unmanaged bundled CNT feedstock.
Coatings and adhesives
Functionalized dCNT dispersions can be matched to coating, adhesive, and specialty binder systems for conductive films, low-reflectance surfaces, bondline control, and electronics materials.
Functional dispersions
Water, solvent, or application-matched dispersion formats let teams screen surface chemistry, solids, rheology, and host compatibility before committing to a molded compound or coating product.
Development path
A practical path from material target to sample evaluation.
The development process keeps performance claims connected to application context and testable material formats.
Define target
Start with surface resistance, shielding, absorption, reflectance, thermal, mechanical, processing, and environmental requirements.
Select chemistry
Match dCNT functionalization and carrier chemistry to the matrix, substrate, or final material format.
Build samples
Prepare plaques, coupons, coated surfaces, dispersions, masterbatches, or application-specific trial lots.
Validate fit
Evaluate performance against customer test methods, geometry, process limits, and qualification needs.
