Dr. Clive Bosnyak, Chief Scientific Officer for Black Diamond Structures, presented some exciting new research revealing significant lithium-ion performance enhancements utilizing the company's proprietary nanomaterial technology, MOLECULAR REBAR®. Bosnyak, who addressed attendees at The Battery Show 2015 in Novi, Michigan, commented that he and his team are advancing the science for nanomaterials, demonstrating improvements in the performance properties of both organic and inorganic binders and active materials, including polymer gel and solid electrolytes. MOLECULAR REBAR® are clean, discrete, open-ended nanotubes which can
Molecular Rebar Design Unravels Carbon Nanotubes Start-up hopes to win business with technique to straighten out and disperse nanotubes Full Article: http://cen.acs.org/articles/93/i9/Molecular-Rebar-Design-Unravels-Carbon.html?h=-1430051376 Chemical & Engineering News Volume 93 Issue 9 | p. 25 Issue Date: March 2, 2015 A decade ago, the sky seemed to be the limit for carbon nanotubes. Prices were dropping, new capacity was coming on-line, and companies were touting the nanomaterials for their thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and energy storage ability.
