Idaho Space Materials, Inc. (ISM) is located in Boise, Idaho and was founded in December 2005 with the purpose of manufacturing advanced materials. ISM works to identify and commercialize existing patents in advanced materials, reducing overall time to market and cost of commercialization. With the introduction of ISM’s first product, Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) based on patents licensed from NASA; ISM has proven that it can rapidly move from licensing to product introduction. Production capacity is infinitely scalable to meet any consumer demand. ISM welcomes the opportunity to partner with any company or institution on research related to carbon nanotubes, carbon nanotube composites and other related innovations.
