Emitech, Inc was created as a small high technology company for the development of innovative concepts in the field of nanotechnology and advanced optoelectronic materials. Emitech's main efforts aim to transfer the latest scientific breakthroughs to state-of-the art technologies followed by device fabrication and final commercialization. Our activity is mostly focused on the application of organic nanomaterials and nanocomposites for the development of new electronic devices such as chemical nanosensors, photodetectors, hybrid photovoltaics, transparent conductive coating, electro and optomechanical actuators. One example of innovative technologies developed by our company is chemical nanosensors for detection of major explosive materials with extremely low vapor pressure such as TNT, RDX, PETN. Emitech has recently completed a Phase II SBIR project related to the development of the explosive detection system based on nanoporous photonic crystals infiltrated with sensory fluorescent organics. Also, our R&D efforts in the field of carbon nanotube photoconductivity and hybrid photovoltaics resulted in several projects sponsored by the government. Emitech, Inc is currently (awarded in April 2008) working on a Phase II SBIR project related to mid/far IR detectors based on multi walled carbon nanotubes. We were the first to discover and develop a unique photo-actuating device made from carbon nanotubes and ionomeric polymers that demonstrates a huge mechanical response under illumination of visible light.

Emitech, Inc has excellent track records as reflected in its IP portfolio, publication, patents and various connections among academic and industrial communities. The list of Emitech's former and current collaborators and partners include University of Rhode Island, Albany Nanotech at SUNY, Lehigh University, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Smiths Detection, Boeing Company, Sarnoff Corp., Solaris Nanoscience, BCO, Inc., Nanocs, Inc., and several other companies and institutions. Recognition of Emitech's progress in cutting-edge science and technology is expressed in company support from the Sensor and Surface Technology Partnership (SSTP), a multidisciplinary research center that was founded by the University of Rhode Island and several industrial corporations.
