On SP Nano's cutting-edge graphene and CNT dispersion technology
Israel-based company SP Nano has developed a unique dispersion technology based on a genetically engineered protein that allows for the dispersion of carbon nanoparticles in various applications. The technology enables the use of carbon nanomaterials in areas such as coatings, matrices, and liquid formulations. The companys dispersions have advantages such as higher stability, reduced viscosity, and increased solid content. The SP1 protein used in the technology is resistant to detergents and solvents, making it suitable for industrial production. The technology has applications in batteries, supercapacitors, textiles, inks, cosmetics, and more. SP Nanos dispersion technology can also be used for composite materials reinforcement and surface coating. The company has also developed a product for steel adhesion. The article does not mention any specific partners, customers, or financial details.

SP Nano Receives BIRD Foundation Grant for Graphene Enhanced Carbon Fiber Sizing
SP Nano Ltd has received $850,000 in grant funding from the US-Israel Bi-national Industrial Research & Development (BIRD) Foundation to develop a system for graphene enhanced carbon fiber sizing. The companys CEO, Eyal Shpilberg, sees this as recognition of the breadth of their SP1 technology and the exciting industrial applications of graphene. SP Nano has also successfully coated an industrial quantity of polyester yarn with its SP1 solution for rubber reinforcement, which has the potential to replace toxic additives and improve the yarns weight and flexibility. The coated yarn will be tested by international end customers before commencing commercial sales. SP Nano is a developer of SP1, a nano-reinforcement protein agent that aims to transform the composite materials and rubber industries.

Imagine it, and now imagine it smaller
Israeli companies Melodea and Valentis are using cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) to make groundbreaking products. Melodea has developed an industrial process to extract CNC from plant pulp waste and is focusing on eco-friendly foams and materials for packaging. Valentis is infusing CNC with properties to create advanced polymeric UV-blocking transparent films for food packaging and other industries. Both companies are seeking investors and strategic partners. The article highlights other Israeli nanotech companies showcased at Imaginenano 2015.

Israeli nanotechnology startup raises $2 million
Fulcrum SP Materials, an Israeli startup using nanotechnology to create stronger yet lighter materials, raised $2 million in funding and appointed a new CEO. The funding round was led by Consolidated Investment Group, with participation from current investors. Fulcrums technology involves proprietary proteins and carbon nanotubes, which are 100 times stronger than stainless steel but one-sixth the weight. The company plans to use the funds for R&D, sales, and marketing. This is Fulcrums third funding round, bringing their total raised to over $4 million. Fulcrum also named Eyal Shpilberg as the new CEO. The company was founded in 2007 and is based in Rehovot, Israel.
