MARKETPLACE

NanoFilm is a leading provider of nanotechnology solutions in Asia, leveraging our proprietary technologies, underpinned by our core competencies in R&D, engineering and production, to provide nanotechnology solutions across a wide range of industries. Our products are services are integral to the smooth functioning of many of the technologies and tools which are essential to our modern life. Our solutions serve as key catalysts enabling our customers to achieve high value-add advancements in their end-products, in an environmentally sustainable manner.

We implement cost-effective innovative nanotechnology processing in the conversion of agricultural wastes into novel bio-nanomaterials (NanoCellulose), which can be applied as value adding sustainable additives to targeted industrial sectors.

The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering uses biological design principles to develop new engineering innovations that will transform medicine and create a more sustainable world.

Moorfield was created to provide services in vacuum technology primarily to the academic research market. While the initial service and retrofit side of the business is still important for ongoing customer communication and feedback, the company has now grown to supply products manufactured in-house. Our vacuum deposition range is aimed at pilot-scale industrial production and high-end educational institutions. System designs involve extensive modularity, leading to flexible solutions ideal for R&D environments where changing technical requirements are common. The range consists of starter platforms that can then be populated with numerous component sets for deposition of metals, inorganics and organics. Systems can be built as standalone units, or can be combined with gloveboxes when air sensitivity is an issue. Recently, Moorfield have directed R&D toward chemical vapour deposition (CVD) systems that allow for easy production of the ‘wonder materials’ graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). These developments have attracted government funding and have been aided by consultation with expert academic researchers. The systems are capable of scalable, cost-efficient synthesis of high-quality material through the implementation of growth schemes deemed critical for future commercialisation of carbon nanomaterials.

In 1963, amid life-changing scientific advances, researchers at the University of Illinois were inspired to create the Materials Research Laboratory (MRL). The MRL’s main investors at the Advanced Research Projects Agency and the United States Atomic Energy Commission had great interest in seeing a speedy completion to the building, which would ultimately give professors and students the space and resources to advance their own scientific achievements.
