Milpitas, United States
NanoGram Corporation, established in 1996 in Milpitas, California, has developed innovative nanomaterial synthesis technologies focused on producing functional inks and pastes for printed electronics, solar cells, and battery applications. With $50+ million in funding and 50-100 employees, NanoGram pioneered laser pyrolysis techniques that enable the production of highly controlled nanoparticles with unique properties optimized for energy applications. The company's core technology platform uses high-intensity laser beams to vaporize and rapidly cool precursor materials, creating nanoparticles with precise size, composition, and crystallinity not achievable through conventional synthesis methods. This sophisticated approach allows NanoGram to engineer materials at the atomic level, tailoring electrical, optical, and electrochemical properties for specific applications. NanoGram's product portfolio includes conductive inks for printed electronic circuits, photovoltaic pastes for solar cell metallization, and battery materials incorporating silicon nanoparticles for enhanced lithium-ion battery anodes. In the solar industry, the company developed nanoparticle-based pastes that improve electrical contact formation in crystalline silicon solar cells, potentially increasing cell efficiency while reducing manufacturing costs. Their silicon nanoparticle battery materials address a long-standing challenge in lithium-ion batteries—silicon's enormous volume expansion during lithium insertion. By engineering silicon at the nanoscale, NanoGram creates materials that accommodate volume changes while maintaining electrical connectivity, enabling higher-energy-density batteries. The company's printable electronic inks represent another significant application area, allowing low-cost, high-throughput manufacturing of electronic components through printing processes rather than traditional lithography. NanoGram works closely with manufacturers to integrate their nanomaterials into existing production lines, providing not just materials but also process integration expertise. The company's emphasis on manufacturability distinguishes it from pure research-focused nanotechnology companies—their materials are designed for scale-up and cost-effective production. Throughout its history, NanoGram has adapted its technology platform to address evolving market needs, shifting focus between solar, battery, and electronics applications as industries mature. The company exemplifies how advanced nanomaterial synthesis can enable disruptive manufacturing technologies, potentially transforming energy and electronics production through printable, solution-processable functional materials. As industries increasingly seek sustainable, low-cost manufacturing methods, NanoGram's approach to nanomaterial-enabled printed functionality offers promising pathways for next-generation product manufacturing.
Haydale Graphene Industries
Ammanford, United Kingdom
Haydale Graphene Industries plc, founded in 2010 and based in Ammanford, Wales, United Kingdom, has established itself as a leading graphene and advanced nanomaterials company through its proprietary plasma functionalization technology. Publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange AIM market under ticker HAYD, Haydale has raised over $30 million to develop and commercialize functionalized graphene and other nanomaterials for industrial applications. With 50-100 employees, the company operates at the intersection of materials science and advanced manufacturing, providing both materials and application development services. Haydale's core innovation is the HDPlas plasma process, which functionalizes graphene and other nanomaterials by introducing specific chemical groups onto their surfaces without damaging the underlying material structure. This surface modification dramatically improves the dispersibility of graphene in various matrices including polymers, inks, and coatings—addressing a fundamental challenge that has hindered graphene commercialization. Unfunctionalized graphene tends to agglomerate due to strong van der Waals forces, limiting its effectiveness in composite materials. Haydale's plasma treatment overcomes this limitation, enabling homogeneous distribution of graphene throughout host materials and maximizing performance enhancements. The company's product portfolio includes HDPlas-treated graphene nanoplatelets optimized for different applications including composite reinforcement, conductive inks, coatings, and energy storage. In composites, even small graphene additions can significantly enhance mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and electrical properties. Haydale works with aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment manufacturers to develop graphene-enhanced materials with improved performance-to-weight ratios. The company has also developed graphene-enhanced inks for printed electronics and sensors, where electrical conductivity and flexibility are critical. Beyond graphene, Haydale applies its functionalization technology to other nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes and silicon carbide, expanding its addressable markets. The company operates a unique business model combining materials sales with contract research and application development services, partnering with customers to tailor nanomaterial solutions for specific requirements. Haydale's facilities include pilot-scale production equipment and comprehensive materials characterization capabilities, enabling rapid prototyping and scale-up. The company has established collaborations with major industrial partners and participates in government-funded research programs advancing graphene commercialization. Haydale represents the emerging class of nanotechnology companies focused not on nanomaterial production alone but on enabling technologies that make nanomaterials practically useful in real-world applications, addressing the critical gap between laboratory demonstrations and commercial products.
Applied Nanostructured Solutions
Baltimore, United States
Applied Nanostructured Solutions, LLC (ANS), founded in 2008 and based in Baltimore, Maryland, develops carbon nanotube-infused materials for aerospace and industrial structural applications as a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation. With a private funding structure and 50-100 employees, ANS has focused on translating CNT technology from research into qualified aerospace materials that meet stringent industry requirements. The company emerged from recognition that carbon nanotubes' exceptional mechanical and electrical properties could enhance fiber-reinforced composites if integration challenges could be overcome. ANS developed proprietary processes for infusing carbon nanotubes directly onto carbon fiber and glass fiber surfaces, creating CNT-infused fibers that serve as drop-in replacements for conventional reinforcement fibers in composite manufacturing. This approach addresses a fundamental challenge in CNT composites—achieving good dispersion and interfacial bonding between nanotubes and the polymer matrix. By growing or depositing CNTs directly on fiber surfaces, ANS creates intimate mechanical interlocking and chemical bonding between nanotubes and matrix resins. The resulting structural composites exhibit enhanced mechanical properties including improved interlaminar strength, fracture toughness, and damage tolerance compared to conventional composites. Additionally, CNT-infused fibers provide electrical conductivity, enabling multifunctional composites with integrated sensing, electromagnetic shielding, and lightning strike protection capabilities. ANS has worked closely with aerospace manufacturers to qualify CNT-infused materials for aircraft structures, demonstrating that nanotube enhancements can be achieved within existing manufacturing processes and quality assurance frameworks. The company's materials have been incorporated into commercial and military aircraft components, representing significant validation of CNT composite technology. Beyond aerospace, ANS targets automotive, wind energy, and sporting goods applications where lightweight, high-strength materials provide competitive advantages. The company's CNT-infused fibers have been used in automotive body panels, wind turbine blades, and high-performance sporting equipment. ANS maintains production facilities capable of treating fibers at scales required for industrial composite manufacturing, with quality control processes ensuring consistent CNT loading and distribution. As a Lockheed Martin subsidiary, ANS benefits from access to aerospace expertise, testing facilities, and customer relationships while maintaining focus on nanomaterial technology development. The company's success in qualifying nanotechnology-enhanced materials for aerospace applications demonstrates that nanomaterials can meet the rigorous performance, reliability, and safety requirements of highly regulated industries. ANS represents an important model for nanotechnology commercialization in structural materials, showing how CNT enhancements can be integrated into existing manufacturing ecosystems rather than requiring entirely new production approaches, facilitating adoption in conservative, high-reliability industries.
