NanoIntegris, Inc. 
Type Private Industry Nanotechnology Founded January 2007 Headquarters Skokie, Illinois, US Website www.nanointegris.com NanoIntegris is a nanotechnology company based in Skokie, Illinois specializing in the production enriched, single-walled carbon nanotubes.[1]
The proprietary technology through which NanoIntegris creates their products "spun out of the Hersam Research Group[2] at Northwestern University."[3]
Contents
Process
The process through which these technologies emerged is called Density Gradient Ultracentrifugation (DGU). DGU has been used for some time in biological and medical applications[4] but Dr. Mark Hersam utilized this process with carbon nanotubes which allowed for those nanotubes with semi-conductive properties to be separated from those with conductive properties.
Products
Semiconducting
Enriched Semiconducting carbon nanotubes[5]
Conducting
Enriched Conducting carbon nanotubes[6]
Pure and SuperPureTubes
Highly purified carbon nanotubes[7]
PureSheets/Graphene
1-4+ layer graphene sheets[8]
HiPco
Small-diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes[9]
Applications
Field-Effect Transistors
Both Wang[10] and Engel[11] have found that NanoIntegris separated nanotubes "hold great potential for thin-film transistors and display applications" compared to standard carbon nanotubes.
Transparent Conductors
Additionally, the ability to distinguish semiconducting from conducting nanotubes was found by Alexander A. Green and Mark C. Hersam to have an effect on conductive films.[12]
Organic Light-Emitting Diodes
Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) can be made on a larger scale and at a lower cost using separated carbon nanotubes.[10]
High Frequency Devices
By using high-purity, semiconducting nanotubes, scientists have been able to achieve "record...operating frequencies above 80 GHz."[13]
