About Danubia NanoTech

Founded in 2004 as a spin-off company of informal scientific research group, Danubia NanoTech is an expert on carbon-based nanomaterials. Our team has 45+ years of combined experience with graphene R&D including team of a Nobel Prize Winner. We authored and co-authored large number of scientific publications in the research of graphene and carbon nanotubes.

ISO 9001:2015 Certificate for Danubia NanoTech
enlarge ISO Certificate

We develop graphene-based technologies with focus on graphene sensors. We manufacture high-quality graphene for various applications: conductive layers and composites as well as protective layers. We strongly believe that the superior properties of our material can significantly improve the final features of the industrial end-to-end product and technology.

We also develop carbon-based custom solutions for individual needs of our partners. We can support them in R&D projects – from partial research tasks to complex carbon-related research.

Danubia Nanotech is holder of European Union Seal of Excellence and its research, development and production of carbon nano-materials is ISO 9001:2015 certified. With its graphene temperature sensor for batteries, Danubia Nanotech also won the 2019 PowerUp! European final competition organised by InnoEnergy.
