Zyvex Technologies and NanoFabrix are collaborating to develop customized carbon nanotube-enhanced composite materials to enhance advanced composite materials’ electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency. At first, the companies plan to design the materials for aerospace applications especially by improving EMI shielding efficiency especially in cockpit electronics.
Zyvex Technologies’ Kentera technology addresses the long-held bonding challenges in graphene and carbon nanotubes that hinder their use in materials by designing molecules that help chemical bonds form on carbon nanotubes.
NanoFabrix surface enhancements are now being assessed for providing wear resistance and solid-particle erosion resistance to the turbojet turbine blades and de-icing and anti-icing to lift surfaces.
