Inorganic Specialists, Inc. in Miamisburg Ohio produces porous, flexible paper made of 100% multi-walled carbon nanotubes between 10 and 200 nm in diameter. Nanofiber paper is a user-friendly nanotechnology platform for many applications.

Nanofiber paper is made without any added binder (binders are optional). The paper is not as strong as conventional paper, but it is easily handled and may be cut or punched to size. The paper readily wets out with water or alcohol and it may also be coated, infused with fillers, or used as a host for catalysts and other agents.

Platform Technology

Nanofiber paper is the starting point for new materials in batteries, composites, shielding, and other uses. The papermaking process allows the paper to be tailored for density, surface area, conductivity, and chemical compatibility. Our group has years of experience with formulating paper composition and morphology, using nanofibers from all over the world.
