The ultimate form of carbon
NAWA sculpts carbon at nanoscale to form its 3D nanocarbon.
NAWA 3D nanocarbon is made up of 100 billion carbon nanotubes per square centimeter all vertically aligned.
Each carbon nanotube is made up of several concentric nanotubes, each of which has only one carbon atom thickness.
Unrivalled properties
Thanks to its 3D nanoscale structure, NAWA 3D nanocarbon offers unparalleled properties compared to other carbon-based nanomaterials.

Multiple high added value applications
Thanks to its unique properties, NAWA 3D nanocarbon makes it possible to solve previously insurmountable problems or to imagine completely new applications.
Used for its mechanical properties, NAWA 3D nanocarbon can be integrated into composite parts to strengthen or lighten them.
NAWA is developing the NAWAStitch product range for the composite reinforcement market. NAWAStitch greatly improves resistance to fatigue and repeated impacts.
Used for its electrical conductivity properties and in combination with catalysts, NAWA 3D nanocarbon can constitute a new generation electrode.
NAWA is developing the NAWATrode-FC electrode specifically for the fuel cell market. NAWATrode-FC is the world’s first “full nano” electrode combining nanostructured carbon and nanostructured platinum.
By significantly improving the catalytic activity of platinum, NAWATrode-FC allows the choice of drastically reducing the quantity of platinum and reducing the size of the fuel cell and its cost or, with an equal platinum load, to significantly increasing the performance of the fuel cell.
Thanks to its mechanical and electrical and thermal conductivity properties, NAWA 3D nanocarbon opens the way to many new applications.
In order to allow as many people as possible to imagine new applications, NAWA launched its NAWAInside open innovation program.
