Commercial Applications

Every commercial product is susceptible to get upgraded with nanomaterials. However, integrating a nanotech solution poses several difficulties: critical examples are the costs of high-tech infrastructures and complying with health and environmental regulations. Despite graphene and the other 2D materials are undergoing the process to become marketable, academia needs more time to gather an in-depth knowledge of particular aspects of Nature. Nevertheless, the existing knowledge and know-how is sufficient to bring the 2D materials from the lab to the market.

Large companies and corporations know that graphene and 2D materials are important building blocks for future nano-enabled products. Public disclosures on activities to integrate 2D materials have been happening during the last decade (see examples at the top from Bosch, ASML and Nokia). However, existing companies may still rely on ‘top-down’ approaches that prevent a timely success, and newcomers could disrupt the markets when receiving appropriate support. SCALE Nanotech excels at innovation and is willing to support large companies, SMEs and startups that look for out-of-the-box nanotech solutions, thus committing with the inherent risks of persistent progress.
