Birla Carbon and CHASM Advanced Materials announce carbon nanomaterials joint development agreement

On November 18, Birla Carbon (Mumbai, India & Marietta, GA) and CHASM Advanced Materials Inc. (Canton, MA) announced a new joint development agreement focused on the development of novel nanomaterials to benefit various market segments including high-performance tires, novel coatings and next-generation batteries. CHASM Advanced Materials is a producer of printed electronics materials and battery materials based on proprietary carbon nanotube and ink/coating technologies. 

Through this joint development agreement, the two companies will share research and engineering resources to develop and manufacture hybrid nanomaterials based on carbon substrates and carbon nanotubes. These hybrid nanomaterials will combine CHASM’s nanotube enhanced carbon (NTeC) technology with Birla Carbon’s expertise in commercialization and manufacturing. In so doing, the companies anticipate jointly developing novel carbon nanomaterials tailored for performance in a wide variety of demanding applications.

Here is the press release.
