This product is an aqueous dispersion of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), manufactured using a mass-production-ready process. Due to their unique structure and physical properties, - SWCNTs are a highly anticipated material, particularly in next-generation electronics.
Our solution is designed for - seamless integration from initial R&D through to large-scale industrial implementation. It enables users to accelerate material property verification, process development, and application testing.
Semiconducting Single-Walled CNTs are advanced materials with properties distinct from conventional silicon-based and organic semiconductors. They offer distinct advantages for thin-film and flexible applications, as outlined below:
This material is highly compatible with flexible substrates and withstands bending and deformation. It is ideal for device designs requiring high mechanical durability.
Unlike conventional semiconductors, which require complex multi-step vacuum deposition, semiconducting Single-Walled CNTs can form thin films through high-throughput processes such as coating and printing. This streamlines manufacturing process and reduces production costs.
We support various designs, including ultra-thin, lightweight devices and complex flexible substrates, expanding the range of material selecting possibilities.
Beyond conventional semiconductor limitations, NBW-17 offers:
High electronic transport and thermal conductivity offer potential for miniaturizing devices and improving operational efficiency. This enables high-speed operation and low power consumption.
There is strong potential for deployment in wearable devices, flexible sensors, and curved surfaces that are difficult to achieve with rigid, traditional materials.
Our energy-efficient manufacturing and resource-conscious processes help minimize environmental impact across the product life cycle.
SWCNTs possess excellent properties; however, supply stability and costs have historically hindered commercial adoption.
This product utilizes proprietary separation technology from Nagase Viita Co., Ltd.?utilizing water-soluble dietary fiber (isomaltodextrin)?and is based on a production process optimized for cost-effective mass production. This ensures a stable, scalable supply for both laboratory and industrial-scale implementation.
We effectively remove metallic CNTs to isolate high-purity semiconducting SWCNTs, ensuring predictable electronic behavior and simplified characterization.
By offering NBW-17 as a water-dispersible solution, we enable handling without organic solvents. This aqueous-process compatibility allows for safer, easier integration into existing workflows.
Every step of our process is engineered for scalability. By evaluating our materials today, you are validating a path toward future high-volume manufacturing.
