CNI and DSM form strategic alliance for SWNTs. (Breaking News: Roundup).(Carbon Nanotechnologies Inc.)(DSM Venturing and Business Development)(Brief Article)

Chemical Market Reporter, February, 2003

Carbon Nanotechnologies Inc. (CNI) and DSM Venturing and Business Development will form a strategic alliance to develop new and improved performance materials by incorporating CNI's breakthrough single-wall carbon nanotubes into DSM's performance materials. Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), also known as Buckytubes, are cylindrical carbon molecules one-billionth of a meter in diameter. At 100 times the strength of steel, this polymer of pure carbon is the strongest, stiffest material known, the companies say. They also say that SWNTs can conduct electricity and heat better than currently available materials.

DSM's performance materials include polymer fibers and films based on ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (Stamylan UH). The cooperation with...
