💡Imagine a single strand of human hair.
Now imagine something 10 times thinner.
Then yet another 10 times thinner.
And now, 100 times thinner.
That’s still not close to the scale we deal with.
Graphene nanotubes are about 50,000 times thinner than a human hair.
Reengineered at that almost unimaginable scale, materials obtain new properties, becoming incredibly strong, highly conductive, and opening the door to breakthroughs in electronics, robotics, transportation, textiles, medicine, and many other advanced industries.
Sometimes the biggest technological leaps come from structures invisible to the human eye. 🔬

[💡R&D] Bone cement enhanced with graphene nanotubes—reduces stress concentration on implants and demonstrates no toxicity for orthopedic applications!
Incorporating TUBALL™ nanotubes and PLA into PMMA bone cement reduces the compression modulus from 893.34 MPa to 487.25 MPa, helping to mitigate stress concentration at implantation sites. Cytotoxicity studies confirm nontoxicity, supporting its potential for safe clinical use.
These findings are detailed in a study conducted by researchers from Chongqing University Central Hospital, University College London, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Chongqing Academy of Science and Technology.

🌕 Single wall carbon nanotubes… on the Moon? 🤔
Researchers have discovered ultrathin, straw-like SWCNTs in soil samples returned from the far side of the Moon by the Chang’e-6 mission. You might think that these nanotubes could only be produced in high-tech facilities.
What do you think explains their presence on the Moon? Vote in the poll below or share your boldest theories in the comments.

For our clients—large industrial manufacturers—batch-to-batch consistency of nanotubes is not a preference, it’s a necessity for producing advanced products with predictable high performance at scale.
This level of consistency cannot be achieved by synthesis alone. It requires:
·     a production technology refined over years of industrial operation;
·     tight, end-to-end control of process parameters, raw materials, and manufacturing conditions;
·     highly automated production systems.
Today, OCSiAl is the only company in the world with the industrial expertise, operational scale, and production track record to guarantee this level of consistency.

As energy storage systems scale, thicker electrodes are becoming essential to increase energy per cell while keeping costs and system footprint under control 📈. This is exactly what only single wall carbon nanotubes enable in thick LFP cathodes—something that cannot be achieved with multi-wall CNTs or carbon black.

Their robust nanotube networks bind electrode particles together, making thick electrodes more durable and flexible 🧬, and enabling record-high active material loadings. Check it out—no cracks even at very high electrode loadings 🔍.

It was a pleasure to take part in Volkswagen Group Supplier Day in Salzgitter this week.
Our OCSiAl team had the opportunity to share how TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes are already part of modern battery formulations, and how they continue to enable the next generation of battery technologies, including sodium-ion systems, solid-state batteries, and dry electrode manufacturing.
Beyond materials and chemistry, the discussion also touched on aspects equally important for the industry today: scaling, reliability, and long-term supply. We shared concrete progress in capacity expansion and the rollout of licensed partner production plants across Europe and Asia.
Thank you to Volkswagen for bringing the community together. We enjoyed open, forward-looking conversations with peers and partners from across the ecosystem.

Why are we called OCSiAl? 🤔
Our name is rooted in chemistry and focused on the future. OCSiAl brings together four chemical elements: oxygen (O), silicon (Si), and aluminum (Al)—the most abundant elements on Earth—and carbon (C), the element at the heart of life and nanotechnology.
Carbon is more than just an element; it’s the foundation of the next technological revolution. We believe that carbon nanomaterials, including graphene nanotubes, will shape the future of materials and transform modern technology—a belief that our name is built on. 🌍🧬
