At the forefront
Since its foundation, Nanotecture has grown rapidly and successfully developed key nanomaterials for the storage of electrical energy as well as novel cell architectures for the design of highly efficient supercapacitors for the automotive and transportation industry.
The company was established in 2003 as a spin-out from the University of Southampton’s School of Chemistry, a world renowned centre of excellence for electro-chemistry and the birthplace of the liquid crystal templating process that underpins the production of nanomaterials. Nanotecture was founded on the basis of the original research into liquid crystal templating, with a view both to further refining and developing the underlying technology and to implementing industrial applications in collaboration with Technology Partners.
Located in modern laboratory and office premises in an established science park close to the University of Southampton, the company continues to maintain strong links with the University itself. Three of the founders and scientists engaged in the original research act as independent scientific and technology advisors to Nanotecture, helping the company to remain at the forefront of its field.
