A Leader for Decades Solving Problems on the Nanoscale
Applied Sciences is a global leader in the development of nanomaterials. The materials we manufacture are vapor-grown carbon fibers, carbon nanofibers, conductive thin films, and nanomat.
When nanofibers are incorporated into polymer composites they improve mechanical strength, thermal and electrical conductivity, and absorption. We can make products lighter weight without sacrificing quality.
In 1995, we obtained funding for accelerated development of Pyrograf III carbon fiber under the Department of Commerce’s Advanced Technology Program (ATP), which supports “strategic, high-risk research in cutting-edge technology.”
