PolyOne & Zyvex received $4.9 M grant for Carbon Nanotube Composites
PolyOne Corporation and Zyvex Performance Materials proclaimed $4.9 million grant from the Ohio Third Frontier Commission for further development and production of carbon-nanotube composites.
The highly-competitive Third Frontier grant program was created to increase Ohio's high-tech research capabilities by promoting collaborative innovation.
Dr. Cecil Chappelow, vice president, innovation, sustainability and chief innovation officer at PolyOne said, "We are honored by this award and confident that our development efforts will yield a significant portfolio of next-generation thermoplastic materials based on carbon nanotubes."
Funding will be used to support ongoing development work initiated several months ago under a joint development agreement between PolyOne and Zyvex Performance Materials to produce carbon nanotube-filled thermoplastics for structural and electrically conductive applications
