Blackwater Nano engineers nanomaterials into functional solutions, products, and systems. Bring us a performance target or problem — sheet resistance, surface behavior, PFAS replacement, or a reliability problem — and we formulate the nanomaterial solution around it. Below is what we produce, what we’ve demonstrated, and what we are bringing to market.
How we work (design-in): We start with the application not the datasheet. You tell us the substrate, the manufacturing process, and the performance target. We develop, test, and characterize the optimal material and/or product to meet that target. We engineer the solution to satisfy regulatory and compliance requirements, and we document the results. This is applications engineering and product development — and it’s what we do best.
