NANOCYL
- Nanocyl is a young spin-off company founded in February 2002,
emerging from the University of Namur. Nanocyl is
exploiting and valorising new discoveries and a strong portfolio of
intellectual property developed by Prof. Janos B.Nagy’s team at the
University of Namur in the field of Carbon Nanotubes.
- Nanocyl is one of the first company active in this field which
has the potential of producing soon commercial quantities of
material.
- At
present, all production is dedicated to associated laboratories and private
industrials partners for use in their research and development
departments.
- Nanocyl is also helping industrials to identify the use they
could have of Carbon Nanotubes in their field that will give them a
competitive advantage when the technology is implemented. A team of 9
researchers is available
- Nanocyl has chosen the “Catalytic Carbon Vapour Deposition"
method of production as it allows production in large scale and is using
industrial process which is well known.
- Nanocyl speciality is also functionalisation of its products.
Carbon nanotubes by essence are inert materials. By functionalising them
Nanocyl allows their chemical compatibility with other materials. Hence
they can be optimally incorporated within polymers, attached to metals,
fixed to biomaterials, etc., thereby transferring their spectacular
properties to the new composites.
