Berwind Private Equity Invests in SouthWest NanoTechnologies, Inc.

8/9/2010

Berwind Private Equity is pleased to announce our investment in SouthWest NanoTechnologies, Inc. (SWeNT), a leading producer of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Based in Norman, Oklahoma, the company uses a patented CoMoCAT catalytic method in fluidized bed reactors to selectively synthesize single-wall carbon nanotubes with remarkable control of diameter, chirality, and purity. The company also produces a specialty multi-wall form of carbon nanotubes to provide better electrical and mechanical performance than is possible from conventional multi-wall CNTs, targeting the conductive polymer and composite material markets. SWeNT recently introduced CNT inks based on V2V Ink Technology enabling printing of carbon nantubes using commercial, high volume printing methods and equipment.
