Xintek Inc. Nanotechnology Innovations

nanotube

Overview

Xintek, Inc. is based in the Research Triangle Park of North Carolina. We develop and manufacture nanotechnology-enabled products for a broad range of applications including diagnostic medical imaging, homeland security, and information display. Our technologies are covered by over 40 issued and pending U.S. patents obtained through licensing agreements with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and Duke University, and from our in-house R&D efforts. In each of our business areas we have formed close partnerships with industry leaders in U.S., Europe and Asia.

We are a leader in the business of nanotechnology based electron field emission technology. We developed proprietary technologies for high performance electron field emitters, field emission x-ray sources, and new diagnostic x-ray imaging systems. Our nanomaterial based electron field emitters are used today by major display manufacturers for their field emission display development.

Together with our partners at UNC we developed a ground-breaking new x-ray source technology that generates spatially and temporally modulated x-ray radiation. The technology fundamentally changes how x-ray radiation is generated and enables the design of new x-ray imaging systems including CT scanners with enhanced performances and new capabilities. They have now been evaluated for a wide range of applications including medical imaging, preclinical cancer studies and homeland security.
