Smoltek patent No. 63 now granted

Smoltek’s 63rd pat­ent has been gran­ted in India and relates to the core tech­no­logy of grow­ing car­bon nano­struc­tures. It also com­pletes the pat­ent fam­ily for Cata­lyst dif­fu­sion which now con­tain eight (8) gran­ted pat­ents worldwide.

“With this pat­ent gran­ted, our fun­da­ment­al growth-related pat­ent port­fo­lio is now com­plete with a world­wide foot­print. This enables us to focus on the next stage of pat­ent port­fo­lio devel­op­ment”, says Dr Shafiq Kabir, Founder and Chief Innov­a­tion Officer at Smoltek.

Cata­lyst dif­fu­sion fam­ily is one of the pat­ent fam­il­ies that cov­ers an aspect of a meth­od for man­u­fac­tur­ing nano­struc­tures on a giv­en sub­strate. The pro­tec­ted meth­od cov­ers the con­cepts of stack­ing essen­tial thin film mater­i­als in dif­fer­ent con­fig­ur­a­tions to facil­it­ate grow­ing nano­struc­ture on a sub­strate once sub­jec­ted to suit­able CVD gas environment.

Smoltek’s pat­ent port­fo­lio now glob­ally com­prises 63 gran­ted pat­ents. Read more about our IP and pat­ents.
