Applications
Galvorn carbon nanotube fibers, yarns, fabrics, films, and composites can support a broad swath of commercial applications. Galvorn has a powerful combination of high-performance properties, versatility in form, and the potential to have a carbon-negative impact. This advanced carbon material can provide the building blocks for the modern world.
Here we highlight just a few of the applications where our customers have realized the immense potential.
Lightweight signal wire & cable
Galvorn is the lighter, stronger, and more flexible alternative to copper, meeting the growing need for lightweight signal wires and cables across aerospace and automotive applications.
- 80% less dense than copper
- 50x stronger than copper
- 100x flex life of copper
Lightweight EMI shielding
Lightweighting and electromagnetic (EMI) shielding are critical for the aerospace, defense, and automotive industries. Galvorn is the lightest, strongest, most flexible conductive material on the planet. Today DexMat customers are exploring how Galvorn, as an EMI shielding material, can benefit their wiring and harness applications.
Thermoelectric generators
Rising energy costs and climate concerns are boosting interest in thermoelectric generators, which directly transform thermal energy into electrical energy. Galvorn is thermally conductive, electrically conductive, and non-toxic. Combined with its flexible, textile-like form factor it can expand thermoelectric generation to new markets.
Cut-resistant material
Current cut-resistant fabrics struggle to provide comfort and convenience alongside protection. Galvorn fibers have demonstrated superior cut-resistance, outperforming fiberglass, Kevlar, and Dyneema yet they also offer superior comfort. It is a promising solution for protective garments you actually want to wear.
