Long description:

Depending on their electronic properties, carbon nanotubes are either metallic or semiconducting nano-structures that are useful for a broad range of applications, including nano- and molecular electronics, mechanical, electromechanical, chemical sensors, and scanning probe components. The chemical synthesis of nanotubes is the most basic aspect of nanotube science and technology. In particular, the ability to synthesize nanotubes into ordered architectures on surfaces for controlled placement and orientation and controlling their properties is critical for their successful commercialization. Controlled growth of carbon nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition is one of the company's core competencies.

Hyperion Catalysis International, Inc. Concludes a License Agree

David Wohlstadter, Hyperion's Vice President of Business Development commented on the transaction stating, "We are pleased to have entered into this relationship with Showa Denko, a recognized plastic surgery world leader in the production of unique chemicals and materials. Hyperion is committed to continuing to expand its own sales and provide its customers with its complete carbon nanotube-based product line. We see the arrangement with Showa Denko as an initial strategic step towards leveraging laser hair removal Hyperion's patent portfolio and capitalizing on the ever increasing demand for carbon nanotubes in commercial applications."
About Hyperion Catalysis International, Inc. (Hyperion)
Hyperion, which is headquartered in Cambridge Massachusetts, USA, has been manufacturing and selling its FIBRILTM carbon nanotubes for a wide range of applications since 1983. Hyperion’s flagship FIBRIL™ technology is a conductive, multi-walled carbon nanotube, which is based on the pioneering work in the field by Dr. Howard G. Tennent.
Hyperion has devoted substantial resources to developing, improving and patenting the technology related to the manufacture and use of carbon nanotubes in a variety of applications. Hyperion currently has hundreds of issued and pending patents laser eye surgery ranging in scope from the production of carbon nanotubes to various current and future commercial applications. Hyperion supplies its FIBRIL™ nanotubes, pre-mixed, in a range of matrices. These nanotube composites are in commercial use in a growing number of automotive, electronics and other applications. The FIBRIL™ nanotubes are used to impart electrical conductivity and other benefits that are related to the unique structure of the nanotubes.
