Nanothinx is one of the first enterprises in Europe that specializes in the production of novel carbon nanostructures. The production methods used by NanoThinX are based on the synthesis of carbon nanostructures with catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD or CVD) of different carbon sources on substrates of metal oxides impregnated with metal catalysts.

Nanothinx can supply potential customers with high purity multi-wall and single-wall nanotubes in quantities ranging from milligrams to several hundreds of grams.

In addition to nanotubes, Nanothinx also offers R&D services on the process engineering of systems in which nanotubes and other nanomaterials are produced or employed. Representative research projects are:

1) Surface modification and tailoring of the chemical functionality of carbon nanotubes towards polymer matrix structures. Study of the nanotubes distribution and dispersion capability and determination of the nanocomposites tensile strength and nanotubes orientation. (In collaboration with FORTH/ICE-HT and the University of Patras.)
2) Development and characterization of CCVD nanostructured materials based on aluminium oxide and carbon.
