What is unique about Zyvex?
Zyvex actually incorporates nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, into commercial applications. CNTs have exceptional physical properties, but incorporating them into other materials has been inhibited by the surface chemistry of carbon. Problems such as phase separation, aggregation, poor dispersion within a matrix, and poor adhesion to the host must be overcome. Zyvex solved these problems by developing a new surface treatment technology called Kentera™ that optimizes the interaction between CNTs and the host matrix.
