Let’s reimagine aerospace
Lightweight, strong, and carbon-negative at scale
The aerospace industry has long faced the challenge of how to build the most lightweight aircraft. But what if lightweight also came with superior strength, carbon-negative benefits at scale, as well as the security that comes with a material that is abundant and recyclable–hello, circular supply chain!
Lightweight cabling and wiring
Galvorn’s properties make it suitable for cabling and wiring applications where light weight, strength, and durability are critical. Not every application requires the 58 MS/m conductivity of copper, for example, as cable shielding or conductors in twisted shielded pair cables. Galvorn CNT shielded cables are at least 40 - 60% lighter than commercial cables and have comparable shielding performance. Galvorn CNT wire is up to 90% lighter than copper wire with significantly better resistance to flex fatigue: Galvorn wire has over 100x longer flex life than the same diameter copper wire.
Lightweight EMI shielding
Electromagnetic interactions in aerospace electrical systems are of growing concern due to the increasing susceptibility of system components to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Galvorn CNT film is flexible and conductive, and can provide lightweight EMI shielding for both cables and enclosures. Galvorn has demonstrated its ability to act as a faraday cage, blocking calls and other signals from reaching a smartphone wrapped in just two layers of 50 μm thick CNT film.
Lightweight lightning strike protection
Today composite materials are providing a lightweight alternative for aircraft wings, but they still rely on metals for lightning strike protection. With its combined conductivity, lightweightness, and strength Galvorn has the potential to not only solve for this critical aerospace tradeoff, but simultaneously minimize environmental impact.
