Cambridge Nanomaterials enters into agreement with Felda Global for the development of carbon nanotubes.

Cambridge Nanomaterials, a spin-out from the UK university, has entered into a production development agreement with Felda Global for the development of carbon nanotubes and graphene.

The high grade products will be made using palm oil by-products produced from Felda’s palm plantations, with the Malaysia-based firm being the third-largest operator of palm plantations in the world.

The Cambridge firm will in turn use the by-products as the raw material for the carbon nanotubes which can be used in smartphones and…
