Galvorn has it all in one single carbon nanomaterial
Galvorn combines the conductivity of metals, flexibility of textile threads, and durability of high-end polymers into one material. The carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers, yarns, and films offer an array of form factors to suit different applications. Use it in a textile form, or a structural composite form. There are a wide range of ways to take advantage of Galvorn's combination of high-performance properties.
01
Stronger
10x stronger than steel
Weight for weight, Galvorn is 10x stronger than some of the strongest forms of steel. And 30x stronger than stainless steel and other common structural steels.
02
Lighter
½ the weight of aluminum
Galvorn has half the density of aluminum yet 30x its strength. Its potential in lightweighting applications is boundless, especially as we ‘electrify everything.’
03
Conductive
Like metals, but flexible, stronger, and lighter
Thermal and electrical conductivity in a textile form opens new doors in everything from smart textiles to thermoelectric generation. It can also displace traditional metal wiring in high-frequency applications.
04
Flexible
100x flex life of copper and carbon fiber
Galvorn’s superior flex tolerance offers manufacturing and distribution efficiencies, as well as superior durability in the end-user application. Customers often take advantage of its textile form factor in their applications. There is also growing research that seeks to take advantage of a conductive, super strong textiles. For example, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded $1.5 million in funding to Rice University and DexMat to improve heat exchange.
05
Cut-resistant
Backed by science (and lumberjacks)
Scientists (and lumberjacks!) have tested the cut-resistance of Galvorn fibers. In this study Galvorn carbon nanotube fibers handily outperform Kevlar, Dyneema, and fiberglass. Today the DexMat team is working with partners to develop high-performance cut-resistant fabrics. Contact us if you're interested in becoming a co-development partner.
More reasons to choose Galvorn carbon nanomaterial
06
Flame resistant & corrosion-resistant
Ready for even the toughest conditionsÂ
Galvorn is pure carbon–densely packed and aligned carbon nanotubes to be exact. It does not corrode–or melt or burn. Its high-performance can withstand the harshest environments, be it deep space or the deep sea.
07
Capacitive sensing
CNT threads for wearables and smart textiles
Galvorn is pure carbon–densely packed and aligned carbon nanotubes to be exact. It does not corrode–or melt or burn. Its high-performance can withstand the harshest environments, be it deep space or the deep sea.
Galvorn carbon nanotube yarns behave like a textile thread. You can blend them with other textile yarns to make garments and gear that has complex electronic functionality. All without sacrificing comfort or weight.
08
Biocompatible
Carbon atoms are a basic building block of life
Galvorn carbon nanomaterial is a form of carbon. It can form a good electrical connection with electrolytic fluids, such as saline or other fluids in the body. Galvorn fibers are soft, flexible, and durable, making them promising electrodes for implanting in the body.
Metal electrodes are stiff and can cause damage to surrounding tissue. Or, suffering from low flex fatigue, risks breaking apart in the body. Flexible Galvorn electrodes can potentially avoid these drawbacks.
