Hyperion Catalysis

Hyperion Catalysis International, headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., has 20 years of experience in nanotube technology. The company – which was the first to synthesize nanotubes in 1983 – is the world’s leader in tonnage production of multi-walled carbon nanotube products, which are sold under the tradename FIBRIL™. The nanotubes make normally non-conductive materials such as thermoplastics electrostatically conductive.

Hyperion Catalysis has sales presence in the United States (Massachusetts, Michigan, and California) as well as in Japan (Tokyo). The company’s European sales and marketing office is slated to open in the first half of 2002.

Hyperion Catalysis International有限公司與昭和电工(Showa Denko K.K.)達成許可證及供應協定

Hyperion Catalysis International有限公司(Hyperion)与日本昭和电工(Showa Denko K.K.)達成專利許可证及供应协议。作為款項、版稅和其他考慮事項的交換,該專利許可證提供昭和电工(SDK)的基于碳纳米管的產品只在Hyperion寬泛的專利產品範圍,指定的塑膠領域內進行銷售。而供應協定則提供昭和电工(SDK)用於購買Hyperion的FIBRIL(TM)基于碳纳米管的產品隨同其自有基于碳纳米管的產品線產品進行轉售。這兩項專利許可证及供应协议將有助於昭和电工(SDK)及Hyperion - 世界兩大碳纳米管領先商業工藝製造和品質設計商,在基于碳纳米管的產品生產、發行和市場方面得以繼續領跑及茁壯成長。同樣,兩大公司確認了在其他領域的互惠互利。此外,還就可能的合作研發項目進行了初步討論。

HYPERION OFFERS FIVE NEW THERMOPLASTIC MASTERBATCHES WITH FIBRIL(TM) CONDUCTIVE CARBON NANOTUBES

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – April 11, 2002 – Hyperion Catalysis International, the world’s only tonnage producer of carbon nanotubes, announced today that it has added five resin families of commercial-quantity thermoplastic masterbatches containing FIBRIL™ multi-walled carbon nanotubes to the company’s product offering. This high aspect ratio, curvilinear form of graphitic carbon confers electrical conductivity at lower loadings than other conductive additives when compounded with otherwise-insulating materials such as thermoplastics. All masterbatches are supplied in pellet form, in either drum or gaylord quantities. Processors can vary the letdown ratio on the masterbatches to optimize the conductivity level of a molded plastic part to meet its end-use application requirements.
