IP2Biz LLC and International Speciality Chemicals Ltd. (ISC) have built a joint-development agreement for bringing titanium dioxide (TiO2)-based nanowires to market. The two companies will work together to develop manufacturing capabilities and identify additional applications for this material, created at the University of Arkansas.
When assembled into free-standing membranes, this two-dimensional ‘paper’ can provide solutions for a variety of applications, including solar cells, the companies say.
‘While speciality filtration applications appear to be the first addressable market segment, we fully expect to see many other applications come to market based on our knowledge of TiO2 and our global network of suppliers and customers,’ says David Priestley, managing director of ISC.
