Overview - The Tiny Revolution

Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) are Ahwahnee Technology’s core technology and first product. The CNT has been crowned the king of nanotechnology due to its unique and remarkable attributes. In addition to its geometric microstructure, the CNT shows extremely useful structural, electrical, thermal, and chemical properties that will enable multitudes of products to be lighter, stronger, cheaper, cleaner, more efficient and more precise in their function. Simply speaking, CNTs promise ‘a tiny revolution.’

Ahwahnee has developed a new process that will allow the highest possible volume production of economical Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT). Ahwahnee is conducting research aimed at leveraging the unique properties of CNTs to use them as building blocks for innovative technologies and applications.

Based on the complexity and lifecycle of each potential application, Ahwahnee divides CNTs and their applications into three different product categories as listed below. Ahwahnee is planning to release several products for each category in the coming years.

1. CNT Materials – Ahwahnee is offering researchers and scientists a series of raw MWCNTs and CNT Tool Kits to help across a range of activities, from small amounts to perform lab observations, to more diverse types in larger amounts to support rapid superior product innovation using MWCNTs.
2. CNT Devices – Ahwahnee is developing a series of energy-related devices whose performance is enhanced by utilizing CNT’s unique structures, properties and functions. Ahwahnee’s first energy related product is scheduled to be in production in late 2007.
3. CNT Systems – Ahwahnee Technology is also looking for strategic applications development partners to rapidly prototype future lighter, stronger, and novel CNT applications with much better performance and reliability than traditional comparable products.
