What NanoIntegris does
NanoIntegris is a privately held specialty nanomaterials company founded in 2007 as a spin-off from Northwestern University by Mark C. Hersam. The company commercializes density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU) technology for the electronic separation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) into semiconducting and metallic fractions at purities up to 99%. Its product portfolio centers on high-purity sorted SWNTs (IsoSol-S100®, IsoNanotubes-S, IsoNanotubes-M), HiPco-produced SWCNTs, PureWave graphene nanoplatelets for batteries, PureSheets graphene, SuperPureTubes™/PureTubes™ unsorted purified SWNTs, and multi-walled boron nitride nanotubes. These materials are sold into applications including field-effect transistors, transparent conductive films, OLED displays, chemical sensors, organic photovoltaics, infrared and high-frequency devices, and energy storage.
NanoIntegris operates a product-led, direct-to-customer business model, with primary customers being academic and industrial research institutions in nanotechnology, materials science, and electronics. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales (quote-based pricing with bulk discounts) via an online storefront, a mobile app for Android and iPhone, direct email/phone/fax ordering, and authorized distributors in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China. The company's products are documented in over 1,770 peer-reviewed scientific publications in journals including Nature Nano, Nano Letters, and JACS, providing substantial third-party validation and driving inbound research demand. Notable third-party recognition includes TechNavio's designation as a key player in the global carbon nanotubes market (2014), the PE USA 2014 Technical Development Materials Award, SIGNL's ranking as the 18th fastest-growing Illinois-founded industry company, and ISO 9001:2015 certification achieved in March 2020.
The company has expanded its commercial scope through strategic co-development partnerships — notably with Xerox Research Centre of Canada (flexible electronics, January 2016) and Raymor (Canadian graphene and nanotube producer, branded NanoIntegris/Raymor, PureWave Graphene launch 2016) — and by joining industry consortia such as the Graphene Council (March 2025) and Battery TECH Network (August 2025). The company is headquartered in Illinois, USA, with disclosed operations in Canada via the Raymor partnership, and serves global markets including North America and Asia. A leadership transition was announced in April 2023.
