Ford Motor Co. (Dearborn, MI, US): has announced that it will use graphene nanomaterial to enhance foam materials that reduce noise inside its vehicles and increase performance under the hood. Debbie Mielewski, Ford senior technical leader for sustainability and emerging materials, says, “The breakthrough here is not in the material [graphene], but in how we are using it. We are able to use a very small amount, less than a half percent, to help us achieve significant enhancements in durability, sound resistance and weight reduction — applications that others have not focused on.” Full story Link.

Cavan IRELAND: 25/04/19: INSCX exchange confirms the formal listing of a series of Nanowires encompassing Silver, Zinc Oxide, Copper and TiO2 effective immediately. Product link available via: https://inscx.com/shop/product-category/nanowires/

Cavan, IRELAND: 25/04/19: INSCX exchange will shortly formally announce the joining of a premier global supplier of nanocopper to the aproved producer list of the Exchange. Coupled with the expressed interest of bulk nanoproducers of Quantum Dots and CNT yarns to follow suit, the admission of this nanocopper producer underscores both the evolution of nanotechnology from the lab to industry and the leading position commanded by INSCX as the global exchange system for engineered nanomaterials. Official release statement to follow to registered subscribers. END/ 

A new system for synthesizing quantum dots across the entire spectrum of visible light drastically reduces manufacturing costs, can be tuned on demand to any color and allows for real-time process monitoring to ensure quality control.

A Japanese chemical company, Kusumoto Chemicals is opening up new horizons in lithium-ion battery capabilities with their single wall carbon nanotube additive. Working in conjunction with OCSiAL, they will begin to produce the additive, which they are calling TUBALL BATT, in their latest manufacturing facility based in Japan, with plans to expand production in the future. By exploiting the unique enhancements offered by carbon nanotubes, the additive can, even with a low volume loading, help to improve the life cycle of Li-battery components.
