Advanced materials for R&D
Alongside our ceramic materials and formulation development, Ceraprint offers selected advanced nanomaterials for application-oriented research and development. Our portfolio includes boron nitride nanosheets, graphene nanosheets and cellulose nanofibrils, with formulation and processing support tailored to the intended application.
Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs)
Boron nitride nanosheets are two-dimensional nanomaterials combining high thermal conductivity with electrical insulation. This makes them attractive for applications where heat management is required without increasing electrical conductivity.
Ceraprint offers BNNSs for research and development in areas such as thermal management, electrically insulating composites, functional coatings and advanced material systems. Depending on the application, we can support dispersion, formulation and integration into selected processing routes.

Graphene nanosheets (GNSs)
Graphene nanosheets are conductive two-dimensional carbon nanomaterials suitable for introducing electrical functionality into coatings, composites and other advanced material systems.
Ceraprint offers GNSs for application-oriented research and development, particularly where electrical conductivity, sensing functionality or barrier properties are required. We can support their incorporation into selected formulations and processing routes depending on the intended use.

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs)
Cellulose nanofibrils are renewable one-dimensional nanostructures with a high aspect ratio and strong ability to form interconnected networks. They can be used both as functional reinforcement and as rheology-modifying additives in a wide range of material systems.
Ceraprint offers CNFs for research and development in composites, coatings, films, packaging and suspension-based formulations. Their network-forming behaviour can also be used to modify rheology, stability and processing characteristics.
