NanoRidge
 

NanoRidge is an advanced nanomaterials manufacturer utilizing leading-edge technology to commercialize the production of intermediate nanomaterials based carbon nanotubes and polymer matrices.

Founded on commercial agreements with Rice University and the University of Houston, NanoRidge has exclusive licenses for the use of technologies focused on applications of carbon nanotubes and other nanoparticles for production and sales of advanced nanomaterials. These materials are characterized by increased performance in specific properties including a variety of mechanical values and electrical & thermal conductivities.

The Company has significant manufacturing process knowledge and experience allowing it to rapidly develop and deliver commercially viable nano-enhanced materials that, when used with traditional manufacturing processes, expand the horizon of opportunity beyond imagination.

New Materials

NanoRidge’s technologies enable the development of entirely new structural materials and applications that will revolutionize industry and the consumer market, but through advanced process techniques, NanoRidge is able to deliver them at commercially attractive rates.
The Company is uniquely poised to deliver on the promise of nanoscience to produce nano-enhanced materials for a wide variety of markets and has broad, exclusive, intellectual property rights that are unequalled in depth and significance.

 

 

Microcapsules
In addition to its recognised position as one of the leading organisations delivering commercial advantage through its application of nanoscience, NanoRidge also has additional licences covering microencapsulation technology developed at Rice University.

These processes will deliver economic routes to manipulate a material’s composition at the nanoscale level. Capsules just a few microns in diameter, made from polymers and nanoparticles, are being used to protect and encapsulate a variety of payload materials. The microcapsules have many developing applications including introducing novel electrical and mechanical properties in thermoplastics, creating self-healing materials and making high performance metal and ceramic foams.

Commercial, Entrepreneurial and Scientific Excellence
The foundation of NanoRidge’s unique position is the intellectual and commercial experience of the team of, seasoned senior executives, entrepreneurs and scientists from the world of Materials Science.

Partnerships with Industry
NanoRidge’s technical excellence, production techniques and advanced research has lead to the establishment of strong alliances with many of the largest companies in the World including Boeing, the US Navy and NASA.
